Turkey: We can defeat IG on our own

0
After the White House announced the withdrawal of US troops from Syria, Turkey claims that it will now be fighting terrorists from the Islamic State (IS) organization banned in the Russian Federation in Syria.



In Astana, a meeting of guarantor countries of the armistice in the SAR is held at the level of foreign ministers. During the event, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that his country could defeat the “Islamic State” alone.

He added that in this matter, Turkey is ready to cooperate with Russia, and with Iran, and with other partners. At the same time, Ankara is not ready to interact with the main party - Syria itself, since the Turkish leadership continues to believe that the government in the Arab Republic is not a legitimate government, but a "regime."

We will cooperate with all in the fight against IS, except for terrorist groups. I am not talking here about the regime, but about Russia, Iran, coalition partners. But Turkey can kill ISIS terrorists alone

- said Cavusoglu.

He also touched on the topic of cooperation of his country with the United States. According to him, Turkey managed to agree with the American "partners" to complete the implementation of the "road map" to resolve the situation in the city of Manbij (Aleppo province).

Earlier, Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced his country's readiness to launch an operation against the Kurds in Manbij if Washington did not withdraw them from there. However, after talking with Trump on December 14, he decided to postpone the upcoming rally. Many experts believe that it was as a result of this telephone conversation that Trump announced his withdrawal from Syria.

It should also be noted that in 2011 Turkey made a huge contribution to the outbreak of war in neighboring Syria, supporting the anti-Syrian "opposition" politically and supplying it with weapons.
