Why a senior US general said on Turkey 's air strikes?

Twilight News / US official said on Tuesday, Gen. Curtis Skaparota, commander of US forces in Europe expressed concern over Turkish air strikes in Syria and Iraq during last week's meeting with the Chief of Staff of the Turkish army, General Hulusi Acar.

A spokesman for the US European Command, told Reuters that Skaparota told General Acar on Friday that the air strikes were not adequately coordinated with the United States and its allies in the framework of their battle against al Daesh.

Captain Danny Hernandez, "I tell you that General Skaparota expressed concern about the air strikes carried out by Turkey recently in northern Syria and northern Iraq without adequate coordination with the United States and the coalition. I will not give more details to maintain the confidentiality of the discussions."
