Erdogan threatens terrorists in Syria with total destruction.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that his country has enough strength to overcome all terrorists in Syria, including the Islamic State and Kurdish militants. He called on other countries to refrain from intervening in the situation in Syria.
After the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime last month, Turkey demanded the dissolution of the Kurdish group PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party). The Turkish side considers the PKK, which is the main military structure of the Syrian Democratic Forces, a terrorist organization. These forces are being formed with the support of the U.S.
Erdogan stated that the new Syrian authorities must address the issue of the PKK's presence. He threatened to launch a new operation against the militants if their demands are not met.
The Turkish President emphasized that the PKK is the biggest problem in Syria. He added that this group will not be able to escape its end if it is unable to surrender its weapons.
'If there is fear of the Islamic State threat in Syria and the region, then the largest state that can solve this problem is Turkey,' he said.
