Turkey Wants US Military to Leave Syria, Iraq After Afghanistan Withdrawal, Erdogan Says
16:21 GMT 26.09.2021 (Updated: 16:46 GMT 08.01.2023) American and NATO troops withdrew from Afghanistan by 30 August after US President Joe Biden announced the end of the nearly 20-year war. The withdrawal, however, was marked by chaos as many Afghan civilians who helped the alliance remained abandoned in the country seized by the Taliban*.

similar to how it pulled out of Afghanistan, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has stated, responding to a question from CBS News. Erdogan specifically named Syria and Iraq as the two countries where Washington should end its military presence in his view. The Turkish president suggested that such a move would promote peace in the region.
"Of course, if I have the choice I would, I would want them to get out of Syria and Iraq. Just like the way they have withdrawn from Afghanistan. Because if we are going to service peace around the world, it's no longer meaningful to remain in those parts of the world. We can just leave those people, leave those administrations to make up their own minds".
