Turkey spells out concerns over Tall Afar to US

Ambassador Eric Edelman was told of Ankara’s concerns over the situation in the majority Turkomen city, where more than 5-0 people have been killed in US raids. Washington has said that the strikes are targeting militants in the region. However, Turkey has said that many of those killed have been civilians.
Edelman denied reports carried in the Turkish media that the objective of the military action is to drive out the Turkomen community so that the US’ Kurdish allied in Northern Iraq can gain control of the city.
