President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said France had taken a “completely wrong approach” to Syria, adding that he exchanged heated words with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, last week.
Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag also said the French stance was setting Paris on a collision course with Ankara.
French backing for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), dominated by the Kurdish YPG militia, has angered Ankara at a time when it is fighting the YPG militia in northern Syria and considers it a terrorist organization.
