What do you know about Ottoman slap?

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has severely criticized the US' support for Kurdish YPG fighters in northern Syria, alerting that Washington's move to fund the group will impact Ankara's future decisions towards its NATO ally.
Erdogan's statements were a response to the Pentagon's new defence budget that allocates $550m to military activities in Syria.

Top Turkish officials have threatened to extend the attack to the Syrian town of Manbij, which is under the control of YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and warned US troops stationed there not to get in the way.

The US has replied that it has no plans to withdraw its forces from Manbij.

Erdogan took aim at that, saying: "It is obvious that those, who say they will 'give a sharp response' if they were hit, have not been hit by the Ottoman slap."
