Turkey tried today again to connect protests against police violence in the United States to Kurdish groups in the Middle East.
In a call with US President Donald Trump, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that people committing acts of violence and looting in the United States are cooperating with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in Turkey and the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in Syria. Erdogan and Trump also discussed Libya, according to Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency.
