I was part of a phone call yesterday between President Erdogan and President Trump where President Trump received a commitment from the President of Turkey to stay away from the Kobani area to prevent further escalation in Syria.

If Turkey continues to move and take Kurdish areas around Kobani, I will take this as a breach of President Erdogan’s promise and a major escalation.

I am certain Congress and the Administration will hold Erdogan personally responsible for any atrocities committed in and around Kobani. My advice to Turkey is stop before you completely destroy the relationship between the United States and Turkey.

He won’t answer. I’ve asked several times. He was against it, before he was for it.

Hear hear, Senator. Good man on this.

It's sad when a Senator has to cover for the acts of a compromised President.

My advice to you is not let your president start a fire and then also try to put out the fire a couple of days later!
