Davutoglu: Turkish campaign could upset regional balance
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu warns that a military campaign by Ankara could “change the balance” in the region, as Turkish tanks shell Kurdish-held villages in northern Syria.
Ankara has called an extraordinary NATO meeting for tomorrow over its cross-border “anti-terror” offensive against Kurdish separatists and Islamic State jihadists.
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg defends Turkey’s right to defend itself but tells the BBC “of course self-defense has to be proportionate.”
