The Prime Minister and the Government Spokesman Numan Kurtulmuş said that he believes from the beginning that Syrian politics were filled with great mistakes. "This is the second Sykes-Picot, very clear. The beginning of the matter is the occupation of Iraq in 1991."

Kurtulmuş, "From the beginning, I believe that the Syrian policy is full of great mistakes. Of course, we will not be beside the Assad regime, the cruel. Now we are repairing them, correcting them."

"The big picture is very clear; the second part of a century ago game is played." Kurtulmuş said and added, "The region is designed once more, trying to divide. Here, as it is seen as the only country that can destroy this game Turkiye is asked not to intervene in this game. This has nothing to do with the governing structure of Turkiye. This is the 2nd Sykes-Picot, very clear. According to 10 years ago, the region is much more divided in terms of sectarianism. The beginning of the matter started with the occupation of Iraq in 1991."

Speaking about the perpetrator of the attack on 39 people dead 27 were foreign nationals which carried out in a nightclub in New Year's Eve in Istanbul, Kurtulmuş said, "Probably someone came from Kyrgyzstan. You should see those such attacks carries out as a single organization. Different branches of an organization. It is important to see the big picture. The organizations became very professional. You can guess the suicide bomb, but such an attack is very interesting. Maybe there were also supporters inside. All of these are being evaluated. Because the threat is not just a threat coming from a single organization. Our duty is really hard." (ILKHA)
