Davutoglu says ceasefire in Syria is not obligatory for Turkey

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that the ceasefire in Syria is not obligatory for Ankara to follow if there is a threat against its security.

He noted that the truce applies only to those who are on the territory of Syria.

"If threats arise against our national security from any of the sides, this ceasefire will not place its obligations on us. In such a case, Turkey will ask no one permission and will do what needs to be done. Because from that moment the question goes beyond the Syrian problem and becomes a matter for Turkey," RIA Novosti cited Davutoglu as saying.
