It has been a week since Ankara launched an offensive against Kurdish fighters in northern Syria.
"Do not fool yourself! "
Speaking with rather familiar terms, US President Donald wrote to Recep Tayyip Erdogan: " Do not play hard! Do not be fooled! He wrote. " You do not want to be responsible for the massacre of thousands of people, and I do not want to be responsible for the destruction of the Turkish economy, which I would do (if necessary)He continues. Donald Trump is brandishing the threat of economic sanctions against Ankara.
Unyielding Erdogan
Still, the Turkish leader is hermetic to any negotiations with the Kurdish militias: "no question of sitting at the table of terrorists"He said, and to repeat that he was going to carry out the offensive to the end.
Turkey says it wants to establish a security zone in northern Syria in order to keep Kurdish fighters from its border.
Fighting in this area has displaced 300,000 people, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (OSDH).
