“We will continue our uncompromising fight against the terrorist threat at the borders of the country.

Turkey's cross-border anti-terrorist operations are a question above politics, ”said Erdogan, quoted by RIA Novosti.

On October 26, the Turkish parliament extended for two years the permission to use the Turkish armed forces in Iraq and Syria.

Erdogan previously stated that he "would not tolerate the threat" posed by terrorists in northern Syria, and is ready to resolve this issue on his own.
