US adds Turkey to list of countries implicated in use of child soldiers
CNN
The US added Turkey to a list of countries that are implicated in the use of child soldiers over the past year, placing a NATO ally for the first time in such a list, in a move that is likely to further complicate the already fraught ties between Ankara and Washington.
The US State Department determined in its 2021 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) that Turkey was providing "tangible support" to the Sultan Murad division in Syria, a faction of the Syrian opposition that Ankara has long supported and a group that Washington said recruited and used child soldiers. There was no immediate reaction from Turkey on the move.
