Turkey will not remain silent if Syrian regime continues to attack Turkish observation points in Idlib, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said ahead of his visit to Tajikistan on Friday.
Turkish president will attend the Fifth Summit of Heads of State of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) on Saturday in Dushanbe.
On the Turkey-U.S. cooperation in Manbij Erdoğan said: “Our partner, the U.S., did not keep its promise on Manbij [...] However, it doesn’t mean that we give up on the Manbij issue, we keep all our plans and we will continue to do.”
Syrian regime forces launched an attack on the 10th observation post in Idlib's de-escalation zone on Thursday.
Syria has been locked in a vicious conflict since early 2011 when the Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protesters.
Turkey has the right to keep its troops in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), Erdoğan said.
“Turkey is not reducing its troops in Northern Cyprus,” Erdoğan underlined, adding that the country "does not need permission from anyone" on the issue.
