The United States has included Turkey in the list of countries that use child soldiers. This is the first case when a NATO member country is included, Ermenihaber writes.
The US State Department’s 2021 report on human trafficking states that Turkey provides tangible support to the ‘Sultan Murad’ unit of the Syrian opposition by giving them child soldiers.
Speaking about the use of children in Libya, a senior State Department official said that Washington still hopes to work with Ankara to resolve the issue.
