Turkish defence and foreign ministries announce they are prepared and determined to begin a possible military operation east of the Euphrates River in Syria
Turkish troops conduct their third joint ground patrol with US troops within a planned safe zone in northern Syria, along the Syrian-Turkish border in Tell Abyad, Syria on October 04, 2019.
“Turkish Security Forces will never tolerate the creation of a terror corridor at our borders. All preparations for the operation have been completed,” it added. US President Donald Trump said Monday he was not "siding with anybody" on Syria after his decision to pull back troops. "I think there is a lot of pressure on Turkey. They have been fighting with the PKK for many years," said Trump.
"There's no green light. We're protecting our troops, and the president's made it very clear, that there should be no untoward actions with respect to the Kurds or anyone else," he said.
