Turkish President Erdogan says he will discuss buying US Patriot missiles with President Donald Trump this month
Turkish President Erdogan speaks during an interview with Reuters in Istanbul, Turkey, September 13, 2019.
However Erdogan told Reuters he had discussed buying Patriots in a phone call with Trump two weeks ago and would follow up when they meet at the UN General Assembly, which opens next week. "He [Trump] said, 'Are you serious?' I said, 'Yes'," Erdogan said, adding that he told Trump they would discuss it in greater detail when they meet.
On Sunday the two countries launched joint military patrols in the area, but Erdogan says that Washington has dragged its feet in an operation Turkey sees as crucial to driving the YPG/PKK. which it designates a terrorist group, away from its border. "The peace corridor is the essential thing. We will not allow a terror corridor on our borders and we will take whatever steps are necessary on this subject," he said.
Erdogan reiterated a warning that Turkey would be forced to let Syrian refugees on its soil leave for Europe if Western nations did not provide greater support to Turkey and support its plans for a safe zone where Syrians could be settled.
