Russia has signed an agreement with Kurdish forces in Syria to build a military base and train soldiers there. A YPG (Kurdish fighting force) spokesman called it, “The first agreement of it’s kind” and claimed Russia has already begun to send military forces over. While the Russian Defense Ministry denied that it was building the base, Turkey took the YPG press release seriously, and cited concerns over growing Kurdish power.
