As the arming of YPG forces in northern Syria by the USA in fight against the ISIL militants in the region, Erdoğan said ‘it is impossible to believe that the weapons provided to the YPG will be recollected after the fight is over’ and added: “If we get a threat from the YPG, we will launch an operation together with FSA”.
When the Justice March was mentioned, he said: “They (the opposition) say that they’ll finalize it (the Justice March) with a meeting in Maltepe (of İstanbul). Unless violence occurs, I will allow it completely. But if a slightest unlawfulness takes place, the necessary intervention will be made”.
