ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – A number of US Republican and Democratic Party senators have called on President Trump’s administration to impose sanctions on Turkey if Ankara and its affiliated forces have conducted operations outside the designated northeast Syria safe zone – a violation of ceasefire deals made with the US and Russia.
"There have been numerous accounts that Turkish and/or Turkish-backed forces are attacking Syrian Kurds near Tal Tamr," Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and Marsha Blackburn and Democratic Senators Chris Van Hollen, Richard Blumenthal and Jeanne Shaheen wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. "If true, these attacks would violate the separate ceasefire agreements Ankara forged with both Washington and Moscow."
