They also highlighted that the proposed sanctions are based on a 2019 legislative framework that helped secure a ceasefire between Turkey and the SDF at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sanctions would target high-ranking Turkish officials, including Erdogan, and affect major Turkish banks, military transactions, and energy sector activities supporting the Turkish military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under U.S. law, the Treasury Department must enforce deferred sanctions related to Turkey\u2019s acquisition of the Russian S-400 missile defense system. In addition, U.S. military aid to Turkey would be cut, Erdo\u011fan and other Turkish leaders would be barred from visiting the U.S., and reports would be required detailing Erdo\u011fan\u2019s net worth and assets due to concerns about corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Taysir Muhammad<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Two U.S. senators warned on Tuesday Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that they will push for sanctions unless Turkey compels armed opposition factions, aka the Syrian National Army (SNA), to stop fighting the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northeastern Syria.
