'The United States needs Turkey as an active participant in Syria' [Anadolu]
Comment: The United States may be quietly dissociating itself from the YPG in hopes of a closer relationship with Turkey, writes Imad K. Harb
A very modest warm breeze appears to be wafting over Turkish-American relations after several disagreements cooled them in the years of the Obama administration.
This warming of relations may have a direct result on developments in Syria, where Turkey has been involved since the start of that country's war in 2011.
What has helped this development is the Turkish authorities' release from house arrest of Andrew Brunson, an American pastor who was accused by Turkey of involvement in the July 2016 coup attempt.
