“It has been almost 1,5 of the year, a camp has been built, the military have been sent, they are being trained, and you suddenly make such statements. Where have you been before? We cannot talk about withdrawing our military from there, we will resolutely continue training, but we will do this in the framework of agreements with Iraq. These are not combat units, but instructors and the contingent protecting them, ”said Erdogan on Friday.
