among other things,, American mortar shells were found inside a former YPG armory. In this way, they were stored at PKK allied facilities (PKK), contrary to Washington's assurances, that he will take all the weapons and ammunition, previously delivered by him to Kurdish gangs.
In total, the Turks seized 60 boxes, each of which contained two 120-mm mortar shells. These weapons can strike targets from a distance of up to eight kilometers..
Recall, 17 October Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu He stressed, that the agreement with the United States on the suspension of the anti-terrorist operation "Source of Peace" in Northern Syria implies the voluntary surrender of weapons by the YPG radicals. On the territory of the Euphrates in 30 kilometers deep and stretching from the eastern outskirts of the province of Aleppo to the Iraqi border, a safe corridor was formed, free from Kurdish militants.
It is worth noting, that during the time of cooperation between the United States and PKK-related gangs in the SAR, the radicals of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) received tons of weapons from the Americans, ammunition and equipment, because of which the situation in the north-east of the Arab Republic has escalated to a large extent.
In particular, the Kurdish-Arab conflict has seriously deteriorated, since the leaders of the YPG, abusing their own illegitimate power and US support, began to systematically oppress the Arabs, that, but, constitute the national majority in this region. for example, "Democratic forces" promoted education in the Kurdish language and forcibly recruited local residents into their ranks.
At the same time, peaceful demonstrations of citizens, which have become a reaction of the population to this aggressive policy of Kurdish terrorists, SDF radicals were often suppressed, opening direct fire on people.
Associate Professor of the Department of Political Science and Sociology of the PRUE. D. AT. Plekhanov, member of the Expert Council "Officers of Russia" Alexander Perendzhiev noticed in an interview with a FAN correspondent, that such reports of the discovery of caches with American weapons at YPG positions can hardly surprise anyone. Washington has systematically used Kurdish groups as puppets in Syria and deliberately stocked them with weapons, to finally undermine the situation in the region.
"The radicals of the SDF are the executors of the will of the United States in the SAR, and therefore, in recent years, they have felt under the wing of the Americans. Through injections from Washington, they have actually become a new armed force in the Syrian conflict. And then the leaders of the YPG decided, what everyone can do now, what pleases them, regardless of the opinion of Damascus, Ankara and any other parties. They knew, that the main thing is not to argue with the States, and then they will always support them - not only politically and morally, but also money, and weapons, and technology. it, of course, at some point very complicated the situation in the country, where the fight against the "Islamic state"1 and "Nusra" was carried out anyway (both organizations are banned in the Russian Federation)», - said our interlocutor.
He also did not rule out, that a significant part of the weapons, with which the United States started Kurdish gangs, could end up in the hands of other terrorist groups, in particular - IG1.
"I think, that the SDF used American supplies for more than just their war. Likely, they also ran an illegal arms trade, which eventually turned out to other radical bandit groups, including ISIS1. This could bring good dividends both to the Kurdish militants themselves, who even had surplus weapons, so do the states, who are ready to make money illegally on everything "shadow" - not only on stolen Syrian oil, What is the American President talking about? Donald Trump already, by the way, declared openly", – noted the expert.
He added, that Washington often uses the strategy of arming initially dangerous radical elements, to create a situation of controlled chaos and extract geopolitical preferences from it for themselves.
“The United States, through its actions, creates the conditions, so that there are always militants in Syria, warring against peace and legitimate government, so that there is always a shadow business, bringing them income. In this way, Americans create an unstable situation in the region of the world they need and rub their hands. Kurdish radicals have become a handy tool, they armed them, to push against the Turks and unleash a new war. Turkey, but, dealt such a blow to the YPG, that they had to move, although the conflict, of course, not exhausted", – graduated from Alexander Perendzhiev.
