>> THE KURDS ARE AN ETHNIC
GROUP OF 25 TO 30 MILLION
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. WHEN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE FELL
APART AROUND WORLD WAR I, THEY
WERE LEFT WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL
COUNTRY TO BE CALLED HOME WHICH
IS HOW THEY CAME TO BE ON THE
TURKEY/SYRIA BORDER IN THE
FIRST PLACE.
FIRST PLACE. THEY ARE SPREAD ACROSS TURKEY,
SYRIA, IRAN, IRAQ AND PARTS OF
ARMENIA.
ARMENIA.
ARMENIA. THEY'VE TRIED TO ESTABLISH A
COUNTRY OF THEIR OWN AND THAT'S
WHY TURKEY CARES.
PRESIDENT ERDOGAN HAS SAID THE
KURDS WHO SETTLED ON THE BORDER
OF TURKEY ARE CONNECTED TO
TERRORISTS GROUPS THAT ARE
REBELLING IN THE COUNTRY.
HE'S CONCERNED THEY COULD
UNDERMINE HIS COUNTRY.
WHERE DOES THE U.S. COME IN?
ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO WE STARTED
WORKING WITH SOME OF THE
KURDISH GROUPS NEAR THE BORDER.
AS CIVIL WARS REDEFINED
BOUNDARIES WITHIN SYRIA, THE
KURDS WERE ONE OF THE GROUPS
FIGHTING ISIS IN THE REGION AND
WE JOINED THEM.
THEY PROVIDED MOST OF THE
GROUND TROOPS.
GROUND TROOPS. WE SUPPORTED WITH THE AIR FORCE
AND A SMALL GROUP OF SOLDIERS
ON THE GROUND AS ADVISERS.
WE HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN DIRECTLY
INVOLVED IN THE TERRITORY
DISPUTES OR REGIONAL CONCERNS.
THE U.S. PURPOSE ON PAPER WAS
TO FIGHT ISIS, BUT THE PRESENCE
OF U.S. TROOPS MEANT TURKEY WAS
UNLIKELY TO PUSH THE KURDS BACK
BECAUSE THEY'D RISK MILITARY
ACTION AGAINST THE U.S. WELL,
OUR TROOPS ARE GONE NOW.
PRESIDENT TRUMP PULLED THEM
BACK EARLIER THIS MONTH AND NOW
TURKISH TROOPS MOVED INTO THE
REGION AND DISPLACED MORE THAN
150,000 PEOPLE TRYING TO PUSH
THE KURDS OUT.
WITHOUT THE U.S. TROOPS THE
KURDISH FORCES HAVE TURNED TO
THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT FOR AID.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS REMOVING OUR
TROOPS HAS REKINDLED TERRITORY
DISPUTES AT THE SYRIA/TURKEY
BORDER.
BORDER.
BORDER. WE WERE WORKING WITH THE KURDS,
BUT NOW THEY'VE TURNED TO
SYRIAN PRESIDENT BASHAR AL
ASSAD TO AID AND HE'S SENDING
