📋 Tender Overview
In answer to a question about the apprehension of one of DAESHs senior leaders Bashar Khattab Ghazal al-Sumaidai and Trkiyes fight against terrorism President Erdoan stressed that it is the Turkish security forces that have carried out the most comprehensive and the most determined operations against DAESH in the world and that the West have failed to undertake a proper fight against the this terrorist organization thus far. The President added that he hopes the world can understand Trkiyes resolve in the fight against DAESH.Asked about the joint exercise which the US troops affiliated with the Combined Joint Task Force formed to fight DAESH carried out the previous day in collaboration with PKKYPG terrorists near the Turkish border President Erdoan stressed the US which keeps taking wrong steps as regards the SDF continues to provide thousands of truckloads of weapons ammunition equipment and vehicles to these terrorist organizations.Responding to a question about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II President Erdoan said he would be attending the funeral should his schedule allow. Drawing attention to the message of condolence he posted on social media President Erdoan stated that he had two meetings with the late Queen at the Buckingham Palace and that he would like to participate in the funeral.Answering a question about US President Bidens remarks that he continues his support for the bill that restricts F-16 sales to Trkiye President Erdoan recalled his meeting with Mr. Biden back in Madrid saying You know that during our meeting in Madrid Mr. Biden stated that he would give every kind of support in his power. He took a positive approach about the issue of F-16s. He also implied that the Republicans dont support. Later on my Foreign Minister had a meeting with a senior Republican in Bulgaria. He asked for the Republicans support on this issue during that meeting. They said they might give Trkiye the necessary support as the Republicans. I hope the US doesnt push us to resort to other paths regarding this matter. What I mean by other paths is that it is not only the US that sells fighter jets in the world. The UK France and Russia also sell it. It can be procured from everywhere. There are those who send us signals for this.
