Bolton: Ankara must guarantee Syrian Kurds safety

The US will stipulate that before its military drawdown in Syria, Turkey provides an assurance to safeguard the Kurds as well as protecting the departing US forces. The US also “wants the ISIS caliphate destroyed.” US national security adviser John Bolton made these remarks to reporters accompanying on a tour of historic West Wall tunnels in Jerusalem on Sunday. Bolton has scheduled a visit to Ankara after his talks in Israel.
