The Turkish army will destroy the threat of terrorism in Syria’s Idlib after doing so in Afrin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday.
“We will continue fighting terrorism, even despite the [Western] calls to stop the operation in Afrin … After we defeat the terrorists in Afrin, we will defeat them in Idlib too,” he said speaking to heads of local governments.
He added that Turkey is committed to clearing the north-western areas of Syria from terrorists in order to ensure the return of refugees to their homeland.
