President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made important remarks to reporters after Friday prayers.

"I met with Minister Akar and they stated that the withdrawal had begun. Our security forces will not leave the area at this time. We'll see if the terrorist group leaves the area or not," Erdogan said.

“If we successfully finish the 120 hours, there will also be a meeting with Mr. Putin on Tuesday. I assess this as a separate element of the process. With these negotiations, we will bring peace to the region with the peace spring operation.” Erdogan stated, adding that” The clash is out of question. Let us not listen to disinformation.  Let's strengthen the step we've taken.” (ILKHA)
