ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday urged all countries to “take their hands off” Syria and said Turkey had the capacity and ability to crush all terrorist organisations in the country, including Kurdish militia and Islamic State.
Speaking in parliament, Erdogan said the Kurdish YPG militia was the biggest problem in Syria now after the ousting of former President Bashar al-Assad, and added that the group would not be able to escape its inevitable end unless it lays down its arms.
