Erdoğan: Turkey to take necessary steps in Syria after YPG attack

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Erdoğan pledged late Monday that Turkey will take necessary steps in Syria as soon as possible following the latest attack by the PKK terrorist group’s Syrian offshoot, YPG, which killed 2 Turkish police officers.

Speaking after the Cabinet meeting, Erdoğan emphasized Turkey’s resolve to eliminate the YPG threat.

“We have run out of patience,” he said.

“Turkey is determined to eliminate threats arising from northern Syria, either together with forces active there, or with our own means.”
