Erdogan says those who see no military solution in Syria should pull troops out

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan expressed concern about U.S. and Russian bases in Syria on Monday and said if countries truly believed a military solution was impossible they should withdraw their troops. On Saturday, Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump said in a joint statement they would continue to fight Islamic State in Syria, but agreed that there was no military solution to the country's wider, six-year-old conflict. "I am having trouble understanding these comments," Erdogan told reporters before flying to Russia for talks with President Vladimir Putin.
