; Whereas the buildup of Turkish tanks in the Province of Erdine on the border between Greece and Turkey, and Turkey’s threatening rhetoric against Greece on state-run media, has further increased tensions between the European Union and Turkey; Whereas Turkey has provided indirect and direct military, economic, and political support to known terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State and Al Qaeda-linked jihadist groups such as Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in northern Syria; Whereas, on October 11, 2019, Turkey deliberately attacked Kurdish forces with indirect fire, with full knowledge that United States special forces were co-located with them and that their artillery rounds could hit United States forces; Whereas this attack forced the withdrawal of United States troops from their observation post, whose exact location was known to the Turkish military; Whereas General Mark A. Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that because Turkey knew the exact location of United States troops, this was a deliberate show of force against the United States and its Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) partners, as all artillery operated by the Turkish military would have United States locations programmed as No Fire Areas (NFAs); Whereas former American envoy for the anti-ISIS coalition Brett McGurk released statements supporting General Milley’s assertions; Whereas Turkey has continually undermined the efforts of the United States-supported Syrian Kurds by taking military action against them, including— (1) heavy artillery attacks on Kurdish SDF in the Abu Rasin region of Al-Hasakah on September 23, 2019; (2) a bombardment of a Kurdish SDF outpost on October 8, 2019; and (3) an attempted assassination of a Kurdish SDF defense official near Ain al-Issa by an armed Turkish drone in August of 2020; Whereas continued aggression by Turkey and its proxies against the SDF in northern Syria has led to a resurgence of ISIS and Al Qaeda, and further destabilization of the region
