President and AK Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made a speech at the AK Party's parliamentary group meeting.

Underlining that the U.S. lends support to the separatist terrorist organization with its own name in Iraq and with such names as the PYD, YPG, SDF, etc in Syria, President Erdoğan said, "There are not even as many DAESH terrorists as the number of the weapons-laden trucks sent to the region which they left to the control of the separatist terrorist organization after carrying out a so-called operation there."

Reminding that the U.S., when caught red-handed in Raqqa, made a statement calling the PKK leader "not worthy of respect," President Erdoğan stressed that such a statement didn't suit the U.S., and continued: "What kind of remark is that? Does this suit a country like you? Well, you have been the cradle of democracy. You are just strong enough to issue arrest warrants for Tayyip Erdoğan's 13 security guards, most of whom have never seen the U.S. before. You are just strong enough to arrest an official of one of our banks upon his 7th entry into the U.S. Likewise, you are just strong enough to arrest another citizen of ours. And then they try to make him an informant by telling him such things as 'this much if you say this and that or this much if you say this and that'." (ILKHA)
