WHITE HELMETS/via REUTERSISTANBUL, Oct 11 - President Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that Turkey was determined to eliminate threats originating in northern Syria, adding an attack by Kurdish YPG militants that killed two Turkish police was "the final straw."
"We are determined to eliminate the threats originating from here either with the active forces there or by our own means," he added. A third piece of ammunition landed within Jarablus, it said, adding that it was believed to be launched from a region controlled by the YPG, the U.S.-backed Kurdish militants which Ankara considers a terrorist organisation.
Azaz and Jarablus have been under the control of rebels backed by Turkey since Ankara's first incursion into Syria in 2016, in an operation that aimed to drive away Islamic State militants and the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia from its border with Syria.
