Incirlik Air Base in Adana, Turkey.
A Turkish commissioned officer refused a medal of honor by the U.S. military Thursday over the Trump administration's recent decision to provide PKK-affiliated Democratic Union Party's (PYD) armed wing, the People's Protection Units (YPG), with heavy weapons.

The military officer, whose name was not disclosed by the military sources, refused to accept an award by U.S. Lieutenant Colonel David K. Leahy for his outstanding success at the Incirlik Air Base.

According to Dogan News Agency's report, the officer did not accept the medal but gave a brief speech, saying he cannot accept an award represented by those who are in cooperation with the YPG.

"My honor would not allow me to accept this medal," he reportedly said before leaving the ceremony.

A senior U.S. official on Tuesday confirmed that current administration has approved U.S. supplying heavier weapons to the YPG, to allegedly fight Daesh. "The approval is effective immediately, but the timeline for weapons delivery is to be refined," the official said.

In addition, the anti-Daesh Coalition spokesman Col. John Dorrian at a briefing in Baghdad last week said that the U.S. may start distributing some arms and military equipment to the YPG, "very soon" but will do so incrementally.

Even though Washington recently exerted efforts to lower tension with Ankara, in the face of the decision, the Turkish government has remained infuriated.

U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to protecting Turkey at a meeting yesterday, while Pentagon spokesperson Dana White also said following the statement that Washington cares about Turkey's security concerns.

"We are keenly aware of the security concerns of our coalition partner Turkey," she said.

Meanwhile, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's face-to-face meeting with Trump on May 16 may prove to be decisive on various issues, including the decision to arm the YPG. However, whether Ankara will play the İncirlik card remains to be seen.

It is the kind of measure Muslim states should take to express their disappointments at US treacheries. It is not outright hostile so the US politicians cannot point fingers but then again it is very difficult to digest this kind of humiliation.It is an appropriate reward for their treachery.

Durinf the week France 24 and DW have been showing news about that "Turkish furious to Kurds"" Arming Kurds and PYD" . They claim PKK between PYD there are a lot of difference.
Strategic policy needs to arm Kurds in Syria.
Some official social scientist from Ankara University ( for example Metin Atmaca ) also shared this policy against ISIS and shared sadness about prokurdish politician who sitting in the Turkish jails.
Bide diyorlar ki: Türkler niye bu kadar kızıyorlar, Kürtler zaten uzun zamandır silahlandırılmış vaziyette.
Yavuz hırsız misali.

This nation is not short on heroes, we don't need the 'medal of child murderers' to prove anything. We act pragmatic, but we are aware of our enemies
