He further assured that they will have to ensure that the region will be protected accordingly. Terrorists have been a core problem for these two countries.
The President of Turkiye, Recep Tayyip has several times emphasized that his government will stand on its feet to ensure the defeat of any terrorist organization in the region.

Speaking on the issue, Ned Price said, the US will forever not tolerate any form of attacks that will take away the peace and development of the nation.
The US-designated members of the network are under counter-terrorism authorities that target terrorist groups and their supporters. This has just been carried out by the joint action of the US and Turkiye as they have to freeze those individuals’ assets.
