Called Kurds a ‘Problem’ for Turkey
Senator Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) spoke in August with a Russian prank caller who identified himself as the Turkish defense minister in order to fool Graham’s office into patching him through to the senator, according to Politico.
While speaking with who he thought was Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar, Graham acknowledged that the Kurdish YPG forces pose a security threat to Turkey. That acknowledgement stands in sharp contrast to the praise that Graham has heaped on the Kurds in recent days for helping defeat the Islamic State, and the criticism that he has directed at President Trump for withdrawing U.S. troops from northern Syria ahead of the Turkish incursion into Kurdish territory.
