Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has written a letter to US President Donald Trump stopping the ongoing military offensive against the Kurds. But Erdogan got the letter in his hand and threw it in the dustbin.
In a letter to Erdo ।an on October 8, US President Donald Trump said, "Don't be fooled. The letter was sent from Washington to Ankara after US troops withdrew from Syria, the BBC reported. The letter comes at a time when Turkish forces are conducting anti-Kurdish operations in northeastern Syria.
In a letter, Trump warned of the risk of Erdogan being described as a "cruel man of history". Sources at Erdogan's office told the BBC that President Erdogan received a letter from Trump. But he rejected it. As soon as the letter was read, Erdogan threw it in the garbage bin beside it.
Trump has been accused of being a green signal in the Turkish offensive by withdrawing US troops from the Kurdish mainland.
Trump told Erdogan that Turkey's economy would be destroyed by sanctions if the campaign became too high. Erdogan has completely rejected the letter in the Turkish parliament.
On the day the letter reached Turkey, Turkish forces crossed the border and launched an offensive against Kurdish forces in northern Syria.
There has been strong criticism against Trump following the withdrawal of US troops from northern Syria. Many say the withdrawal has given a green signal to Turkish military operations.
The letter was written in a language that did not protect diplomatic beauty, but rather began with a grave threat.
The letter was written on October 5. The authenticity of the letter from the White House has also been confirmed. "Let's work for a better deal," Trump said.
"You certainly don't want to be responsible for killing thousands of people," the US president said. I also do not want to be responsible for destroying Turkey's economy. If you do this mission in a proper and humane way, then history will make you look good. But if that is not the case, you will always be seen as a cruel person.
The US leader told Erdogan that if he had a meeting with Mazlum Abadi, the leader of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, it would be possible to have a good deal.
Turkey's Kurdish PKK has been linked to the insurgency, with Turkey calling itself a terrorist.
You will not be a hard man, nor be fooled, at the end of the letter, Trump says more and more, I will call you later.
