Turkish media says Ankara to establish military bases in Syria to fight Islamic State
Turkey will establish military bases in Syria and assist the new government in establishing security forces, Turkish media reports.
Turkey will establish air, naval and ground force bases in Syria in order to fight against the Islamic State group, Syrian security sources tell the Turkiye Gazetesi and ODATV channel.
The reports come days after Israel and Turkey were said to have reached an agreement in principle aimed at preventing any unwanted incidents between both countries’ militaries operating in Syria.
