President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan slammed the US decision to form frontier troops involving Kurdish forces on the border between Turkey and Syria.

As Diken writes, Erdogan does not understand why the U.S. is forming troops to ensure security at a distance of 12,000 km from its borders.

Erdogan said that he had called U.S. president Donald Trump to discuss the matter and he promised to call back, but never did.

“I will not phone him, until he calls me,” Erodgan said.
