Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatens to "evict the terrorists" on the border with northern Syria if the Syrian Kurdish militia will not withdraw by the end of the deadline agreed with Russia, ie in the event of the failure of the agreement reached in Sochi with the Russian President Vladimir Putin. "If the terrorists have not left the ground at the end of 150 hours, we will take control and make a clean sweep on our own," Erdogan said during a televised speech in Istanbul, referring to the Ypg militia, that Turkey ranks as a "terrorist" group .

Syrian troops on the border with Turkey
Syrian troops have reached a key area near the border with Turkey after sending further reinforcements to the region, in what the observers say is their most massive deployment in the area for years.

In particular, Syrian regime forces have entered the provincial borders of the city of Ras al Ayn, according to state-run news agency Sana. This is a territory taken by the Turkish military at the end of a week offensive against the Syrian Kurds. Syrian troops also deployed along a road that runs about 30 km south of the border, the news agency added.
