The UN Security Council will discuss the situation in Yemen on February 16. The issue will be raised in the "other questions" section of the session, the source told RIA Novosti.

Ankara considers the Syrian Kurds to be affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), an organization seeking Kurdish independence that has fought the Turkish state since 1984.
