USA President Donald Trump announced their withdrawal from Syria from Twitter. Trump said if Turkey hits the Kurdish they will devastate Turkish economy and demanded a 20 mile safe zone. Trump also noted that they did not want the Kurdish to provoke Turkey.

 

Trump said on Twitter: "Starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining ISIS territorial caliphate hard, and from many directions. Will attack again from existing nearby base if it reforms,"

 

 "Will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds," but followed up in a second tweet, "Likewise, do not want the Kurds to provoke Turkey."

 

"Likewise, do not want the Kurds to provoke Turkey. Russia, Iran and Syria have been the biggest beneficiaries of the long term U.S. policy of destroying ISIS in Syria - natural enemies. We also benefit but it is now time to bring our troops back home. Stop the ENDLESS WARS!"

 

TURKEY:  TO CONSİDER TURKEY AN EQUAL IS A DIRE MISTAKE

 

Spokesperson of AKP President Tayyip Erdoğan İbrahim Kalın responded on twitter: "It is a fatal mistake to equate Syrian Kurds with the PKK, which is on the US terrorist list, and its Syria branch PYD/YPG,Turkey fights against terrorists, not Kurds. We will protect Kurds and other Syrians against all terrorist threats."

 

Kalın also wrote on Twitter: "Terrorists can’t be your partners & allies. Turkey expects the US to honor our strategic partnership and doesn’t want it to be shadowed by terrorist propaganda. DAESH, PKK, PYD and YPG are the same. We will keep fighting all of them."
