A strange statement by the Turkish Foreign Minister about the US contingent in Syria
63
Foreign Minister Mevlüt авavuşoлуlu noted today with a somewhat strange statement. According to him, Donald Trump is going to withdraw the American military contingent from Syria. The strangeness is that this kind of information is voiced not by the representative of the American military or political elites, but by the Turkish Foreign Minister.
Earlier, Trump did declare “a possible withdrawal of the American contingent from Syria”. However, some time after this, the US State Department issued a statement in which it announced that the withdrawal of US troops from the Syrian Arab Republic "may adversely affect the security of regional allies." These allies in the State Department called Israel, Jordan and Turkey, whose Foreign Minister today spoke about the American troops in the UAR.
With regard to the Turkish-American topic, it is worth noting another statement by Cavusoglu. According to him, Donald Trump informed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan about the possible extradition of Fethullah Gulen. Recall that in Ankara it is this person living in the United States who is called the ideologue of the attempted coup d’état involving the Turkish military.
Against this background, it is worth noting that previously information about the readiness to “buy” the issue of Gulen appeared in the USA. For a positive decision on the extradition, as stated by Special Prosecutor Muller, Ankara promised to pay 15 million dollars. And supposedly the recipient of this amount could be Michael Flynn - then Trump's assistant.
