Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim clarified Friday Turkey’s stance in future operations against the terrorist group Daesh in Iraq and Syria.
Turkey launched Operation Euphrates Shield in late August to aid the Free Syrian Army opposition forces clear Syria's northern border area of terrorists. It is now in its 66th day.
“Raqqa issue is not our problem,” Yildirim told reporters in the Turkish capital Ankara, specifying Turkish security forces were working for Turkish citizens' security.
The Syrian city Raqqa is the so-called capital of the Daesh terror group.
“We have a loud and clear stance there. We can be with you [the U.S.] against Daesh in the Raqqa operation but if elements such as PYD/YPG, which we identified as terrorist groups, join the operation, we are not there,” he said.
