Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu responded to the statements of high-ranking German officials about the withdrawal of German soldiers from the Incirlik military base.
By the way, we should note that after the Turkish authorities forbade the German deputies to meet with the German soldiers serving in Incirlik, a number of German officials started talking about the withdrawal of their soldiers. In particular, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced that Jordan could be an alternative to Incirlik for German soldiers.
“If Germany wants to leave Incirlik, we will not beg them to stay. When they wanted to come, we helped them, if they wanted to leave, then “good way,” Cavusoglu said on the air of the Turkish “NTV” channel, according to the Turkish service of the “BBC” media.
Cavusoglu also referred to the Raqqa operation, and also spoke about the US providing military aid to the Syrian Kurds.
“We cannot be where the Syrian Kurdish forces are, for example in the Raqqa operation. Our President conveyed this very clearly and clearly to the President of the USA and to the delegation. He also mentioned that we will fight against the Syrian Kurdish forces, we will apply appropriate measures and we can even strike,” the Turkish Foreign Minister added.
