Turkey may launch a military operation east of the Euphrates river in Syria, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said.
In an interview with broadcaster TGRT Haber, he noted that Turkey will launch a military operation, if a planned safe zone in northern Syria is not established, and if threats continue against Turkey.
Cavusoglu also said he hopes an agreement will be reached after talks with U.S. special envoy for Syria James Jeffrey this week, who is visiting Turkey, Reuters reported.
