LONDON - U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper urged Turkey on Monday to stop holding up support for a NATO defense plan for the Baltics and Poland, as Ankara presses the alliance to support its fight against U.S.-backed Kurdish YPG militia in Syria.
“Alliance unity, alliance readiness, means that you focus on the bigger issues – the bigger issue being the readiness of the alliance. And not everybody’s willing to sign up to their agenda. Not everybody sees the threats that they see.” Turkey wants NATO to formally recognize the YPG militia, the main component of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces , as terrorists and is infuriated that its allies have given the militia support.
