Erdogan says Turkey can “crush” all terrorists in Syria, calls for foreign powers to “take hands off”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Israel to withdraw its forces from Syria and stated that Turkey can "crush" all terrorist organizations in the country, including PKK/YPG and Daesh.
Erdogan emphasized that foreign powers must "take hands off" Syria, asserting that Turkey has the ability to eliminate terrorism in the region.
He called the YPG the biggest problem in Syria and stated that Turkey would mount a new cross-border operation if its demands regarding the YPG were not met.
Erdogan expressed his commitment to protecting Kurdish citizens and securing their future while insisting that Turkey's fight against PKK/YPG is not against Kurds.
