From Ankara, there are reports about the reaction of Turkish President Recep Erdogan to the letter that Donald Trump sent him on October 9. The reports refer to a letter in which the US president, addressing his Turkish counterpart, urged him not to “play the fool” and “stop being a bad guy.”
Trump's letter was aimed at persuading Erdogan to abandon the military operation in northern Syria.
The BBC, citing sources in the presidential administration of Erdogan, today reports that the Turkish president after reading "threw the letter into the trash."
It is noted that Recep Erdogan “expressed categorical disagreement” with the fact that an American colleague wrote in his appeal.
Meanwhile, journalists in Russia asked the spokesman for the country's president regarding the same letter that arrived from Washington to Ankara. Answering a question from journalists, Dmitry Peskov diplomatically stated that the tone of the letter was unusual. The head of the Kremlin’s press service noted that “such a language is rarely seen in interstate correspondence.”
It is important to note that Donald Trump not only called on Recep Erdogan to abandon the military operation in Syria, but also provided all this with extremely harsh language, including the following:History will remember you as a devil if nothing good happens. Do not play the fool! "
