Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu attended the international counter-terrorism conference along with the five UN Security Council (UNSC) permanent members, a number of European and Arab countries and representatives from the European Union, Arab League and United Nations hosted in Paris on Monday.
All the attendants except Turkey pledged to help the Baghdad government in its fight against ISIL. The main agenda of the meeting was about providing military support to the government of Baghdad against ISIL. But Çavuşoğlu did not offer any kind of support to Baghdad during the conference, according to Cihan.
During the meetings, the Turkish delegation in Paris reportedly emphasized that the fight against ISIL is not only in Iraq -- it is also a threat in Syria -- and pointed out that as long as President Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria is in power, the threat of ISIL will continue.
