Washington misinforms Ankara, claiming that it does not supply Kurds Self-Defense Forces in Syria with weapons, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday.

"They (the U.S.) said they did not supply heavy weapons when we objected to them arming YPG. They said they will collect the current arms after the threat of Daesh is eliminated. Who are you deceiving? They are talking about a 150 square-kilometer zone where they (Daesh) are active. If it is about this zone, Turkey is ready to immediately eliminate any Daesh presence in the area," Daily Sabah reported quoting Erdogan. 

According to him, despite all Turkish-US agreements, the US does not fulfill its promises to implement the Manbij Roadmap.

"Although Manbij is made up 80-85 percent of Arabs, there are terror organizations there and they are not being honest. They still can't remove terrorists from there. Then we will do it," Erdoğan noted referring to US pledges to remove YPG from the northern Syrian district.

Ankara has repeatedly accused Washington of supplying arms to the Syrian Kurdish self-defense forces that control the northeastern Syria, while the Turkish military has repeatedly carried out military operations against the Kurds in Syria.
