Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday threw United States President Donald Trump’s letter, asking him not to attack Syria, in the bin.
In a letter dated October 9, and sent before Turkey’s attacks in northern Syria, Trump asked the Turkish president to ‘work out a good deal’.
Turkish presidential sources reported that the letter had been ‘thoroughly rejected’ by Erdogan.
The sources stated to media, “President Erdogan received the letter, thoroughly rejected it and put it in the bin.”
In the letter, Trump had told Erdogan, "Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool!"
He had further asked Erdogan to deal with the matter in the right and humane way, and not be remembered as a ‘devil’.
