Erdoğan: Operations will continue until ISIL, YPG threat is eliminated

Tweet

Turkey says cross-border operations in and around the Syrian border town of Jarablus will cease when the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) threat has been eliminated.

“Operations will continue until the ISIL, PKK/YPG threat ends,” said President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in a message delivered for Aug. 30, Victory Day.

Turkey sent tanks across the border to help Syrian rebels drive ISIL from the border town of Jarabulus last week in a dramatic escalation of its involvement in the Syrian civil war.

Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmuş announced on Monday that all relevant parties including Damascus were informed before an operation called Euphrates Shield was launched by Turkey into Syria last week.

“We did not enter the war [in Syria] with the Jarabulus operation. We are not seeking to become a permanent force in Syria,” he said.

In the meantime, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu in a statement on Monday accused the YPG of carrying out an “ethnic cleansing” in the region.

“If the YPG does not withdraw to the east of the Euphrates, it will become a target,” he warned.

Turkish army shells 20 targets in Jarabulus, clears 400-square-kilometer area

The Turkish military said in a statement on Monday that it had shelled 20 targets in Jarabulus with Fırtına howitzers as part of the Euphrates Shield operation in northern Syria, which was launched on Aug. 24 in order to clear terrorist groups from the area including the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK)-linked Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG).

According to the statement, the Turkish army is continuing to make progress in northern Syria and has cleared an area of 400 square kilometers near its border. It also noted that all necessary precautions were taken to avoid harming any civilians there.

The joint operation of the Turkish military and coalition forces, called Euphrates Shield, started with artillery strikes and rocket shelling on Aug. 24. The Free Syrian Army, which also joined the operation, reportedly took over a number of villages from ISIL in Jarabulus, which sits on the border with Turkey.
