Turkey says Syrian Kurdish fighters will be 'eliminated'
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says that it was "only a matter of time" before Syrian Kurdish fighters -- seen by the West as essential in the fight against Islamic State jihadists -- will be wiped out.
Turkey sees the People's Protection Units (YPG) -- the main component of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) -- as a terror group linked to its outlawed domestic foe the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
