“Turkey will do whatever it takes to eliminate terrorists from northern Syria,” Cavusoglu said, referring to the PKK/ YPG terror group, which repeatedly targets Turkish forces in the region. Cavusoglu said the United States and Russia had not kept their promises to ensure YPG's withdrawal from the Syrian border area.
He added that Ankara is determined to eliminate threats emanating from northern Syria, either itself or with the support of active local forces.
