Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said his country’s patience with U.S. efforts to create a buffer zone along the northeast Syrian border was running out, indicating a military operation was imminent.
Erdogan has been threatening for months to launch a military incursion into northeast Syria to clear the area of local fighters led by the predominantly-Kurdish Syrian People’s Protection Units (YPG), who are supported on the ground and in the air by the U.S.-led international Coalition to defeat Islamic State.
