Donald Trump, the elected president of the United States, stated that the key to what will happen in Syria will be in Turkey, calling President Erdoğan "a very smart man and very powerful."

"HE HAS BUILT A VERY POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE ARMY"

Continuing his statement, Trump noted that Turkey is "an important power," saying, "Erdoğan is someone I get along well with. He has a great military power. And this power has not been worn out in wars. He has built a very powerful and effective army."

ÖZEL: THIS TONE EMBARRASSED ME

Following these words that caused a great stir, a striking evaluation came from CGP Chairman Özgür Özel. Expressing that he felt "ashamed" of Trump's words towards Erdoğan, Özel stated, "Trump said to Erdoğan, 'He has built a very powerful army, a very smart man.' I wish he was referring to the Turkish Armed Forces; he is referring to HTS. Do you remember this tone? This tone is the same as the tone in the threat letter Trump wrote to Erdoğan. Now he is patting him on the back. This statement is not just a compliment. There is a stick being shown. There is a task, an assignment given to him. Otherwise, he is saying remember what happened in the past. To the AKP members who are pleased with this statement, I say; just as that letter embarrassed me, this tone embarrassed me just as much. The president of Turkey does not deserve this. We will have a president who cannot speak like this."
