Turkey to press on with military operations in Syria

After Al Bab, the military intends to head west to Manbij.

“In Jarabulus, Al Bab, Manbij or wherever it needs to go, we will continue these operations until these terror organisations no longer remain a threat to Turkey,” Kurtulmus said during a televised press conference in Ankara.

He said the attack was also because of Turkey’s attempts to create peace in the region, after Ankara teamed up with Moscow to agree a ceasefire for Syria.

But he vowed: “Our initiatives for new peace in the Middle East will be realised.
