Erdogan to Tramb: ready to take security Mnbj without delay

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told his US counterpart Donald Trump his country's readiness to take security in the Syrian city of Manbeg without delay. The two presidents agreed on the need to eliminate what remains of the remnants of the organization of the Islamic state in Syria.

The Turkish presidency said in a statement that Erdogan telephoned Tramb on Sunday and agreed on the need to eliminate what the statement described as the remnants of the state organization in Syria, in addition to taking joint measures to prevent the return of the organization, according to the Anatolia news agency.

They also agreed on the need for continued talks between the leaders of the two countries on the idea of ​​implementing a safe area in northern Syria, as well as the need to raise the level of trade exchange and economic cooperation between the two countries.

The new conversation between the Turkish and US presidents comes as Ankara and Washington seek to find a formula that would guarantee Turkey's security after the withdrawal of US troops from north-eastern Syria and prevent a Turkish military operation targeting the Kurdish people's protection units, an ally of the United States. Turkey considers it a terrorist organization and considers it a terrorist organization. An extension of the PKK.

Washington's recent formula, welcomed by Ankara, is to establish a safe zone about 30 kilometers deep inside Syrian territory, including areas of influence of Kurdish units east of the Euphrates River, similar to the city of Manbaj, where US forces are deployed.

Al-Jazeera correspondent in Turkey Amer Lafi said the telephone call between Erdogan and Trump was to console American soldiers who were killed a few days ago in a bomb attack on a restaurant in the eastern city of Manbaj, killing 16 people, including four Americans. The attack was adopted by the state.

The correspondent added that Erdogan assured Trump that the terrorist operation was rejected, and that the attack should not affect the decision to withdraw US troops from Syria.

He added that the new phone call between the two presidents is Erdogan's expression of Turkey's readiness to assume security responsibility in Manbaj. He said that the conversation follows the Manbjj bombing and the visit of Senator Lindsey Graham to Turkey, in which he stressed that Kurdish units are a problem for Ankara.

Turkey's military operation against Syrian Kurdish militants has raised tensions with Washington, which has several warnings to Ankara. Trump recently threatened to "destroy" Turkey's economy, and Turkish leaders responded that such threats did not intimidate them.
