Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Sunday his government is ‘seriously saddened’ by television footage showing US military forces operating alongside Syrian Kurdish fighters.

Ankara views the group as terrorists, but Washington believes are the most effective fighting force against ISIS. Turkish forces last week launched airstrikes on Syrian Kurdish Peoples’ Protection Units (YPG).

The government considers them an affiliate of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, against which it has been waging a 30-year fight for control of southeastern Turkey.

Erdogan said Sunday his country may take further action against Kurdish militants in Iraq and Syria, as US-backed forces in Syria closed in on the last neighborhoods of a former ISIS stronghold.
