Erdogan dismisses pledges over weapons for Kurds in Syria

ISTANBUL, Jun 25 (Reuters) Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said today countries which promised to get back weapons supplied to Kurdish YPG fighters in northern Syria were trying to trick Turkey and would eventually realise their mistake.
Ankara was infuriated by a US decision last month to arm the YPG, which Washington sees as a vital ally in the battle against Islamic State in its Syrian stronghold of Raqqa but which Turkey deems an extension of the outlawed Kurdish PKK.
The PKK, designated a terrorist group by the United States, the European Union and Turkey, has been waging an insurgency in southeastern Turkey since the 1980s.
