Erdogan vows Syria operation if U.S. falls short in safe zone
Turkey's president threatened Saturday to launch a unilateral offensive into northeastern Syria if plans to establish a so-called safe zone along Turkey's border fail to meet his expectations, including a demand that Turkish soldiers control the corridor.
Speaking to graduates of a military academy in Istanbul, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the U.S. had up to three weeks to satisfy Turkish demands.
"If our soldiers do not start to control the area actively, we will have no choice but to activate our own operational plans," Erdogan said.
