Erdogan says U.S. has 'calculations' against Turkey, Iran, Russia in Syria

6 Feb 2018 - 14:52


Reuters - The United States is working against the interests of Turkey, Iran and maybe Russia in northern Syria, where it is sending in military supplies to an area controlled by Kurdish-dominated forces, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday.

�If the United States says they are sending 5,000 trucks and 2,000 cargo planes of weapons for the fight against Daesh (Islamic State), we don�t believe this,� Erdogan told members of his ruling AK Party in parliament.

�It means you have calculations against Turkey and Iran, and maybe Russia,� he said, repeating a call for U.S. troops to withdraw from the Syrian town of Manbij.
