Turkish PM: Turks are not joining IS group en mass
NICOSIA - Turkey's new prime minister strongly rejected Western media reports that many of his fellow countrymen are swelling the ranks of the Islamic State group.
Ahmet Davutoglu says there are many more people from other European countries signing up with the extremist group than there are Turks.
He said Tuesday that Turkey is doing all it can to stem the flow of potential Islamic State recruits.
Davutoglu said at a Cyprus press conference he has asked European countries for closer cooperation to stem the flow of foreign fighters into Syria.
