The Turkish army struck the U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters on Sunday in northeastern Syria. This brought up more tension along borders than before. Turkey views the Kurdish fighters as terrorists and said that he plans on expanding the military operations to get rid of the terror brought along with the Kurdish fighters. The Kurdish fighters are backed by the U.S. and they are fighting the Islamic State militants. This alliance did not help with the relationship between the U.S and Turkey. It is very ironic that at the summit a day before, Turkey called for more of a political process to allow return of refugees. The Kurdish fighters have contained IS militants to southeast Syria and the fighting has been difficult because of the IS fighters killing so many Kurdish fighters. I believe that the US should continue to back the Kurdish fighters if we want to keep a contain on IS fighters. It might hurt our relationship with the country of Turkey, but this will help take out a military group that causes a lot of terror.
