“We will give a drastic response to any attack coming from outside of safe zone [in northern Syria] and we will expand our safe zone area if needed.” Turkey’s President Erdogan
President of Turkey and leader of Turkey's governing Justice and Development Party Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaks during his party's parliamentary group meeting at the Grand National Assembly of Turkey in Ankara, Turkey on October 30, 2019. "We will give a drastic response to any attack coming from outside of safe zone [in northern Syria] and we will expand our safe zone area if needed," said Recep Tayyip Erdogan at his party's parliamentary group.
Those countries which accept YPG/PKK as a terrorist group allow its symbols on their streets, while banning all pro-Turkey activities, Erdogan noted. "Despite all, these attacks are conducted in their countries and moreover they are conducted with police escort," he added. On Oct. 9, Turkey launched Operation Peace Spring to eliminate terrorists from northern Syria east of the Euphrates River in order to secure Turkey’s borders, aid in the safe return of Syrian refugees and ensure Syria’s territorial integrity.
