Turkey to take action on border town if it receives no help, Erdogan says
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... will take it upon itself to deal with attacks on the border town of Kilis if it receives no outside help, President Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday, in a sign Ankara may be willing to act against ISIS on its own. "We will overcome the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS). We will solve that issue ourselves if we don't receive help to prevent those rockets from hitting Kilis," Erdogan told an international meeting of ministers in Istanbul. Kilis, which is just across the border from an ISIS-controlled area of Syria, has come under frequent rocket fire in recent weeks. Turkish officials say Ankara needs more help from the U.S.-led coalition in protecting its border. Posted by: Fred 2016-05-18 |
