Ankara has made a major contribution to the fight against the terrorist group “Islamic state”. As Reuters reports, Turkish armed forces destroyed 3 thousand militants in Syria and Iraq.
In the words of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, his country has reached such successes, despite the fact that Turkey is constantly receiving “unjust and cruel accusations of supporting ISIS,” what exactly through its territory to Syria penetrate foreign mercenaries.
Erdogan also said that Turkey has taken 3 million Syrian refugees – more than all other countries. “Examples of this hospitality no more. Our total expenditures amounted to nearly 20 billion dollars”, – said the President, adding that until now has not received from the West support. “The EU has promised 3 billion euros, still not able to allocate this assistance”, – stressed Erdogan.
