President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said he will have a face-to-face meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin regarding U.S. withdrawal from Syria, saying "The U.S. did its part" by announcing their pullout.
A group of Turkish officials will visit Moscow soon and a meeting with Putin will also be scheduled according to developments in their meetings, Erdoğan said.
"We are concerned with U.S. President Donald Trump's statement, not French President Emmanuel Macron's," Erdoğan added, saying that Turkey is trying to maintain a healthy dialogue with the U.S.
On Wednesday, Washington announced it will be withdrawing all of its troops from Syria, following a conversation between Erdoğan and U.S. Trump over an imminent Turkish cross-border operation to eliminate PKK-affiliated People's Protection Units (YPG) from northern Syria.
