EXCLUSIVE: ‘Work with us in Syria or get out of the way,’ Erdogan told Trump
On Friday, Turkey-backed Syrian rebel groups announced a broad merger and voiced their support for any offensive. It is expected that Turkey will heavily rely on its Syrian rebel allies in the assault.
US troops have already begun leaving northeastern Syria. However, a different senior Turkish official told MEE that Ankara would wait about a week for US forces to fully pull out from the area before launching its offensive.
Turkey’s proxy Jihadist forces seem to be preparing to attack the Kurds and free the thousands of captured ISIS fighters that the Kurds now hold at a prison camp.
