We respect the borders and sovereignty rights of all our neighbors. Let no one doubt this... Russia, the United States and other countries have made certain promises to us. We remind them of this and urge them to fulfill these promises. Whenever, wherever and whatever needs to be done, the Turkish Armed Forces have so far done what what is necessary. We suggest you: stop supporting them (Kurdish groups in Syria - A.A.), you will not achieve anything from cooperation with them. We need to cooperate with Turkey," Akar said.
