Turkey to ask US to hand over military bases in Syria: Hurriyet
 [AlAhram] ...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor.... will ask U.S. officials in talks on Tuesday to hand over its military bases in Syria to Ankara or destroy them, the Hurriyet newspaper reported, a request that could further complicate discussions over the U.S. withdrawal from Syria. "Give them or destroy them," a Hurriyet newspaper headline said, referring to what it said were 22 U.S. military bases in Syria. It cited unspecified sources as saying Turkey would not accept Washington handing them over to the YPG. A senior Kalin is Erdogan's front man and deputy head of Turkey's security and foreign policies board. Erdogan warned on Monday the U.S. withdrawal must be planned carefully and with the right partners, saying only Turkey had "the power and commitment to perform that task".
