Contents of the Letter
The letter is direct and to the point, but lacking diplomatic finesse: [2]
Let's work out a good deal!
You don't want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don't want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy — and I will.
I've already given you a little sample with respect to Pastor Brunson.
I have worked hard to solve some of your problems.
Don't let the world down.
You can make a great deal.
General Mazloum is willing to negotiate with you, and he is willing to make concessions that they would never have made in the past.
I am confidentially enclosing a copy of his letter to me, just received.
History will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way.
It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don't happen.
Don't be a tough guy.
Don't be a fool!
I will call you later.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan responded by throwing it in the garbage bin.
