Erdogan: Turkey to continue Euphrates Shield operation in northern Syria
ISTANBUL - Turkey's military will continue its operation in Syria's Afrin and Manbij regions, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday during a parliamentary address to his ruling AK Party.
In 2016, Turkey launched the Euphrates Shield operation on its Syrian border to eradicate what it called a "corridor of terror", made up by the dual threat of Islamic State and Syrian Kurdish fighters.
