川普即將會(huì)晤埃爾多安
A week after U.S. President Donald Trump sparked anger in Turkey by authorizing arming of Syrian Kurds, he is hosting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for talks Tuesday at the White House with an expected focus on that dispute, as well as the wider conflict in Syria.
The U.S. sees the Kurdish force, the YPG, as a key part in the fight against Islamic State and the effort to oust the militants from their de facto capital in Raqqa. But Turkey considers the YPG terrorists because of their links to the Kurdistan Workers' Party that has been waging a three-decade insurgency inside of Turkey.
Erdogan called the decision to provide U.S. arms "contrary to our strategic relations to the U.S."
But he said last week ahead of the trip that he views his visit to Washington as "a new beginning in Turkish-American relations."
川普總統(tǒng)授權(quán)為敘利亞庫爾德人提供武器，引發(fā)土耳其憤怒一周后，他星期二將在白宮接待土耳其總統(tǒng)埃爾多安并舉行會(huì)談，預(yù)計(jì)會(huì)談將集中在這一爭端以及敘利亞沖突。
美國認(rèn)為敘利亞庫爾德武裝“庫爾德人民保衛(wèi)軍”是打擊伊斯蘭國并把該極端組織趕出其自稱的首都拉卡行動(dòng)中關(guān)鍵的組成部分。但是土耳其認(rèn)為“庫爾德人民保衛(wèi)軍”與庫爾德工人黨有關(guān)聯(lián)，因此是恐怖組織。庫爾德工人黨在土耳其國內(nèi)已經(jīng)進(jìn)行了30年的反叛活動(dòng)。
埃爾多安稱，美國向“庫爾德人民保衛(wèi)軍”提供武器“與我們和美國的戰(zhàn)略關(guān)系背道而馳”。
不過，他上周啟程赴美前表示，他把即將對(duì)美國進(jìn)行的訪問視為“土美關(guān)系的新開端”。
