’s plans to launch an offensive on the eastern side of the Euphrates River.

When asked on Tuesday whether the Ottoman Turkish president had made a misstatement, State Department Deputy Spokesperson Robert Palladino said, "Yes." The United States is focused on reforming the Syrian government and "the international process that gives everyone a chance to live in Syria," Palladino said.

Last Wednesday, Erdogan announced that the Ottoman Turkish army was ready to start an offensive against the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) on the Euphrates east bank at the earliest opportunity.

Turkey has been claiming that the YPG’s presence near its border threatened its national security.
