Turkey insists US provided weapons to Kurdish militia

Turkey has rejected Washington's denials that it has provided weapons to a Syrian Kurdish militia force which Ankara considers to be a terrorist group.
Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said today, "the United States has provided arms to the YPG period."
He was responding to a US Embassy statement a day earlier which said the US had not "provided weapons or explosives to the YPG or the PKK period."
Turkey views the US-backed People's Protection Units, or YPG, as a terrorist organisation because of its links to Turkey's outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also rebuffed the US denials and called on Washington to side with its ally.
