Summer of terror in Turkey

Summer of terror in Turkey

Turkey will not send ground troops into Syria to destroy militant terrorists of Islamic State, but it agrees to maintain air attacks on IS and the moderate Syrian opposition, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said today, commenting on a Turkish-US agreement on military aid to the Syrian opposition.

 

"If we don’t intend to send ground troops into place, we won’t do this.These forces and ground troops should be protected,’’ he said, adding that Turkey is against terrorism in any form, as well as against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

 

In this regard, Davutoglu said that Turkey wouldn’t consider the Syrian Kurds to be a threat, "if they don’t raise concerns about Turkey breaking off all relations with Assad and will cooperate with the opposition."

 

According to experts, this agreement on military assistance gives an adequate response to the recent terrorist attack in Suruci. An Associate Professor of the School of International Relations of the University of TOBB Economics and Technology (Ankara), Togrul Ismail, believes that the adoption of such a decision is made due to "the political situation in the country and the international situation."
