Erdogan has denied allegations of the flight of IS militants from prison in Syria

“They constantly broadcast misinformation about the fact that IS fighters escaped from prison. They do this in order to excite the United States and the West, ”RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

According to the Turkish president, the leaders of the countries with which he speaks constantly ask him questions on this topic.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that Turkey, after the start of the operation in northern Syria, is “responsible” for ensuring that all IS fighters remain in prison.
