He did not want to be named USA A senior official of the Ministry of Defense (Pentagon) to a group of journalists Ukraine–Russia made comments about the war. Unexpected to the official “Turkey” when asked, he denied the question with an evasive answer.
Pentagon official interior minister Süleyman Soylu’s statement regarding the attack on Istanbul’s Istiklal StreetUSA“The embassy in Ankara did not accept the message of condolence” answered the question of his statement as follows:
“I want this briefing to focus on Ukraine. I will say this Turkey is still a very important ally. We will be happy to consider your questions outside of Ukraine outside of this meeting.”
Minister Soylu, who made a statement yesterday on Istiklal Street after the terrorist attack on Sunday USAexpressed his attitude with these words:
“We know the message that was given to us, we received the message that was given to us. I emphasize once again: we do not accept the condolences of the American embassy, we reject them. Those who send money from their senates to this concept. Kobani, which feeds terrorist zones and tries to disrupt the peace of Turkey from there.” Of course, our union with a state should be discussed. We are not anyone’s enemy, we do not have eyes on anyone’s land, we do not betray anyone, but I would like to say that of course we do not have the strength to withstand these betrayals.
The US Embassy in Turkey made the following statement after the attack:
“As the Diplomatic Mission of the United States in Turkey, we are deeply saddened by the explosion that took place this afternoon in Istanbul. We offer our deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and wish the injured a speedy recovery.”
