Erdogan says Turkish troops could be used in Syria

None

Turkish troops could be used to help set up a secure zone in Syria, if there was an international agreement to establish such a haven for refugees fleeing Islamic State fighters, President Tayyip Erdogan said in comments published on Saturday.

 

Turkey has so far declined to take a frontline role in the US-led coalition against Islamic State but officials said earlier this week Erdogan has been negotiating on what Turkey's role might now be.
