Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
BUDAPEST, Hungary … News Time
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that his country is concerned about Hungary’s support of our member talks in the European Union, Turkey to some EU member states. EU relations should not be affected. Addressing a news conference with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Budapest Erdogan said his country is committed to supporting Hungarian-EU dialogue in the EU. He said that joining Turkey’s union would help his dignity and development, but sadly his attitude is not good with us at this time. Referring to Syrian refugees, President Erdo ۔an said that all routes to Europe for refugees would be opened if we did not get full cooperation from the European Union. He added that Turkey could not bear the burden for long. The president said that whether we get support or not, we will continue to help the guests, but if Europe does not help us, we will have to open doors, the purpose of the safe zone we want to establish in northern Syria is to ensure that the refugees in our area return home. On the other hand, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that Turkey will not return from Syria until the withdrawal from other countries. Talking to journalists in Ankara, he reaffirmed that Turkey would continue its cross-border offensive against the Kurdish fighters until they completely leave the area. Turkey launched ground operations in Syria following President Trump’s decision to immediately withdraw 1,000 U.S. troops from northern Syria last month.
