Close friends Erdogan and zionist Obama discusses Syria war scenarios

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has discussed Syria with US President Barack Obama, highlighting the need to provide further support to foreign-backed militants in the Arab country.

The White House said in a statement on Monday that the two leaders had a telephone conversation, focusing on their “commitment to pursuing a political solution (and) the need to provide additional support to the opposition.”

It came after US Secretary of State John Kerry said in a speech in a meeting of the so-called ”Friends of Syria” in Doha, Qatar, on Saturday that the Syria militants need further support “to be able to address the imbalance on the ground.”

“The United States and other countries here — in their various ways, each choosing its own approach — will increase the scope and scale of assistance to the political and military opposition,” he said.

Meanwhile, the foreign-backed Takfiri militants in Syria said on Sunday that the armed groups have been supplied with heavy weapons including anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles by “brotherly nations.”

The Los Angeles Times reported on the same day that CIA operatives have been secretly providing the militants with training on the use of anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons for months.

Elsewhere in the conversation, Obama spoke about anti-government demonstrations that have rocked turkey for more than three weeks.

The White House statement also said that the two leaders talked about “the importance of nonviolence and of the rights to free expression and assembly and a free press,” in Turkey.

This is while the two sides have been contributing to violence in Syria by sending military aid to foreign-sponsored militants.

Ankara and Washington had earlier exchanged sharp remarks over Turkey’s violence, with the US government voicing concerns over “excessive” use of police tactics against protesters. The Turkish government, however, rejected the criticism.
