Erdogan pitches Syria no-fly zone to US, Russia
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says he proposed, to the US and Russia, the setting up of a no-fly zone in northern Syria, after Ankara-backed fighters pushed the Islamic State group from the border area.
“We are working for this region to be declared no-fly zone,” Erdogan says at the G20 meeting in China, referring to the land extending from Jarabulus to Azaz in northern Syria seized from IS jihadists.
“This is my proposal to Mr Putin and Mr Obama. This can be done with coalition forces,” he adds in televised comments.
