Of course, who these helicopters belong to is important. Who bought them, who allocated them, who made them use them?“
Minister Çavuşoğlu, when asked whether the US was aware of the helicopters departing from northeast Syria, said, „This part is important. Who bought these helicopters from whom and then who made them use them? How did they train the terrorists to use the helicopter? But in the end, the airspace of that region „Who controls it?
