Ankara respects the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all neighboring countries, said Minister of National Defense of Turkey Hulusi Akar, speaking of the Turkish operations held by Turkey in Syria and Iraq, reports Anadolu.
“Our only goal is terrorists, threatening the security of Turkey,” said Turkish minister.
Akar emphasized that the official Ankara has repeatedly declared, including the NATO allies, which will not allow the formation of the zone from its southern borders, controlled by terrorist formations, which was done in the framework of operations of Turkey.
The Turkish Minister also attracted attention to the agreements of Turkey with Russia and the United States in Syria: “Turkey strictly performs all the obligations that expire from these agreements. The same position should adhere to Moscow and Washington.”
