The debate on the crash of helicopters carrying PKK/YPG terrorist organization members, using the name SDG, which is supported by the USA in Syria, continues in Northern Iraq.
Spokesperson of the US Department of Defense Ryder, at the daily press conference, “Your partner (PKK/YPG) SDG made a statement and announced that two helicopters carrying its members crashed in Northern Iraq. In the statement, it is stated that they are on a training exchange mission. What was his role in the so-called education exchange mission? Were US-funded funds used here?” gave the following answer to the question:
“WE DO NOT KNOW”
“The US has nothing to do with the SDF helicopter flight and has no involvement in it in any way. You know, the SDF is a power on its own and we are partnering with them in the operations to fight against DAESH. But I would say again, the USA or the coalition has no involvement in this helicopter incident. We have no information about whether this task was carried out before.
Thereupon, the AA correspondent said, “You say we have no information or involvement, but the USA trains and equips this force. How confident are you that the capabilities and funds provided by the United States will not be used against your NATO partner Turkey in the future? posed the question.
“WE DO NOT HAVE ANY INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION”
The US general, who could not give assurance that the PKK/YPG, which uses the name SDF, would not use the weapons and funds it received from the US to Turkey, said that they partnered with the organization to defeat DAESH.
Ryder said, “We are training a large number of forces that carry out their own operations around the world. Again, in this case, we are not involved or involved in any way. I’m not sure how else you want me to phrase that.” said.
Brigadier General Ryder said, “Let the SDF speak for itself on this matter.” gave the answer.
When asked by another journalist whether the USA, which monitors the region, is aware of the flights of these helicopters, apart from its involvement in the incident, the spokesperson said, “Let’s put everything into perspective, we monitor many activities in the world. I will not go into whether we monitor the operations of others other than the USA and the coalition.” said.
Ryder said, “I say the US is not involved. I choose my words carefully there.” used the phrase. (AA)
