Turkish Security Council Mulls Syrian Operation, Despite Washington's
Warnings

Dorian Jones

   ISTANBUL - Turkey's National Security Council met Tuesday to decide
   whether to launch a military offensive into Syria against the YPG
   Kurdish militia.

   With Washington backing the YPG and warning against any unilateral
   action, the two NATO allies could be on a collision course.

   President Recep Tayyip Erdogan chaired the meeting, which brought
   together his military and intelligence chiefs.
