“We will not let up until every last terrorist leaves the region,” Erdogan said, referring to the YPG, the main component of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which Ankara views as a terrorist organization. | |
Speaking to reporters on a flight home from Hungary, Erdogan also said that Turkey “will not leave here until the other countries get out,” according to broadcaster NTV. | |
