(VOVWORLD) - Turkey appears to be losing patience with the US in forming a “safe zone” in northern Syria.

President Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday that Turkey has no choice but to act alone.
President Erdogan has more than once threatened to open a military campaign against the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) in northern Syria if the “safe zone” was delayed.
Turkey is not happy with the current pace of the negotiations with the US and said if Turkey cannot find a way to do it with the US, they will clear out the terrorist organization by themselves, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said, referring to the YPG.
