He has vowed that Turkish military forces will not stop bombing Syrian Kurdish militia positions. According to Erdogan, the US must decide whether it wants to support Turkey or the Kurdish militants.
Otherwise, the Syrian Kurdish fighters supported by the US have taken advantage of the offensive of the Syrian government forces in the north of the country, to occupy territories near the border with Turkey.
On the other hand, the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, has described Turkey's actions on the border with Syria as illegal.
She said that Turkey is bombing the populated regions along its border and is bringing money and people to this area, "because it simply cannot accept the fact that these regions are being liberated from terrorists and extremists".
