Clash of the invasions: Turkey's Erdogan tells US to get its troops out of Syria
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
TURKISH President Recep Tayyip Erdogan challenged Nato ally the US to get its troops out of north-western Syria yesterday, accusing it of having “calculations” against “regional powers.”
Mr Erdogan addressed MPs from his ruling AKP party in parliament, a day after the Pentagon said it was pulling troops out of Iraq — to Afghanistan — after declaring victory over Isis.
"The US says that they have cleared Daesh from Syria," he said, using the Arabic acronym for Isis. “Why are you still here?"
