Turkey launched a military campaign in northern Syria in August, using its armor and air power to help Free Syrian Army rebel groups take territory near the border held by Islamic State (ISIS).
Turkish officials said their goal in Syria was not only to drive out ISIS but also to ensure Kurdish forces do not expand the territory they already control along Turkey’s border.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday Turkey would not “wait for terrorist organisations to come and attack us” during a speech in Ankara.
“These organisations, wherever their activities are, wherever they are nesting, we will go (there),” he said.
