Blinken meets Erdogan as forces backed by US, Turkey clash in Syria

^{Published on 2024-12-13 04:01:01 - MSN}

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Turkey on Thursday for talks focused on a critical aspect of establishing stability in Syria: clashes in the north of the country between U.S.-backed Kurdish forces and Turkey-backed rebels.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul to discuss a range of issues including the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, as well as NATO-related matters. This meeting occurred amidst tensions due to recent clashes in northern Syria between U.S.-backed Kurdish forces and Turkey-supported Syrian opposition groups. The discussions aimed at addressing Turkey's concerns over U.S. support for the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which Turkey considers an extension of the PKK, a group it deems a terrorist organization. Additionally, Blinken's visit was part of efforts to mend relations and discuss Turkey's role in NATO, especially after Turkey's recent approval of Sweden's NATO membership. The talks also touched on the need for de-escalation in the region and the broader implications for U.S.-Turkey relations.
