"Turkey is determined to actively initiate the formation of a safe zone in Syria along the eastern line of the Euphrates River in its own way by the last week of September," Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
"Turkey is determined to actively initiate formation of a safe zone in Syria along the eastern line of the Euphrates River in its own way by the last week of September," Recep Tayyip Erdogan told a meeting of provincial heads of his ruling Justice and Development Party in the capital Ankara. “The threat of sanctions on our country does not scare us, does not make us retreat, on the contrary only strengthens our determination to go our way,” he added.
Since this spring, Ankara has sent drilling vessels to the Eastern Mediterranean, asserting the right of Turkey and the TRNC to the resources of the region.Turning to the issue of Syrian refugees, Erdogan stressed that Turkey has not gotten the support it needs, especially from the EU, on sharing the refugee burden.Turkey has long complained that the EU failed to keep its promises of monetary support under a 2016 deal to stem the tide of refugees.
