Turkey calls US-backed Syrian force 'army of terror'
Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄan has accused the US of forming an "army of terror" after the US-led coalition announced plans to create a Syrian security force. The 30,000-strong force would also operate along Syria' borders with Turkey and Iraq. Turkey-US relations remain strained over the US' support to Syrian Kurdish militia, the YPG, whom Turkey accuses of being terrorists.
