Turkey not willing to have dialogue with US - Turkish Deputy PM

Turkey not willing to have a dialogue with the US regarding Syria, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag said according to Turkish media.

The US must immediately stop supporting terrorists, instead of sending a delegation to Turkey to negotiate the Olive Branch operation, Bozdag added.

Earlier, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim announced that about 8,000-10,000 PYD/YPG terrorists are supposed to be hiding in Afrin, Syria.

On Jan. 20, the Turkish Armed Forces, together with the Free Syrian Army, launched the Operation Olive Branch in Afrin, Syria.
