This is incorrect, a month prior Turkey’s foreign minister and Erdogan had stated they actually do not want to be in the way and support us, hence the bait and switch. The 180 came hours after our prime minister and president made their stance clear.
I imagine if somebody actually contacted Turkey before making the proposal they would’ve found out the stance without embarrassing themselves. As we all know what countries say publicly and what diplomats do behind closed doors are two different things.
