Mark Esper: Turkey appears to have committed war crimes against the Kurds in Syrian Kurdistan
ARK News: US Defense Secretary Mark Esper says Turkey appears to have committed war crimes in Syria and must be held accountable, in an escalation of US rhetoric against Ankara.
Esber in an interview with CNN on Tuesday said "I have seen reports too. We are trying to monitor them. They are terrible. If they are accurate, I suppose they are accurate, they will be war crimes. Those responsible must be held accountable. In many cases, the Turkish government will be."
The US defense secretary, "We cannot allow these things to happen."
Esber said earlier that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan "bears full responsibility" for Turkey's invasion of Syria, including "the possibility of war crimes."
