Turkey calls on its coalition partners to start a ground operation in Syria to end the five-year conflict. Without such an operation there cannot be peace in Syria, say people in Ankara, but alone it will not be carried out. It is reported by Reuters, citing an unnamed Turkish official.
"Turkey will not begin ground operation unilaterally. We ask the coalition partners that the ground operation took place. We are discussing this with our allies," the official said in Istanbul.
"We want to carry out a ground operation. If we come to an agreement, Turkey will take part in it. Without such an operation to end the war impossible," he added. The US-led coalition unites more than 50 countries, including Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other countries. -02D-
