President Erdoğan: We are determined to bring peace and security to the areas east of the Euphrates

 

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s (OIC) member/observer states judicial conference in Istanbul. 

Turkey wasted enough time to intervene with the terror swamp in the east of the Euphrates River, Erdoğan said.

“We will no longer tolerate a single day of delay,” Erdoğan added. “We are determined to bring peace and security to the areas east of the Euphrates.”

Erdoğan said that Turkey conducted an anti-terror operation in Sinjar and Mount Karajak regions of northern Iraq Thursday night, adding such operations will continue.

Erdoğan’s remarks came after the Turkish Armed Forces conducted airstrikes in an overnight operation against the regions which terrorists have been using as their bases. 

Erdoğan further asserted that Thursday’s treacherous attack on Turkish troops in Syria’s northwestern Afrin from Tal Rifaat city show the country’s right decision against terrorists.
