Bolton to negotiate fate of Syria Kurds on Turkey visit

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – John Bolton, the US national security advisor, arrived in Turkey on Monday to discuss the fate of Syria’s Kurds – US allies in the fight against ISIS.

Bolton is expected to meet with Turkish officials, including the country’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on Tuesday. 

The Kurdish-led administration in northern Syria – known to Kurds as Rojava – fears Turkey will attack when the US withdraws its 2,000 troops.

Donald Trump, the US president, dropped the withdrawal bombshell in late December, indicating US troops will be leaving imminently. After fierce criticism from members of his administration, Trump seems to have backtracked, saying there is currently no timeline for such a withdrawal. 

Meanwhile fighting continues in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor province to liberate the final shreds of territory held by ISIS. 

During talks in Israel on Sunday, Bolton said the US withdrawal is “conditional” on assurances from Turkey it would not attack

America’s Kurdish allies. 

Ankara considers the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) a wing of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which has fought the Turkish state for greater Kurdish political and cultural rights since the 1980s. 

The YPG, which makes up the backbone of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), denies any organic ties with the PKK.

Turkey has already launched two cross-border operations in Syria – first in 2016 against ISIS in Azaz and al-Bab then in 2018 against the YPG in Afrin.
