Turkish MPs to vote on further Syria operations
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTurkey’s parliament is scheduled to vote to extend by another year a mandate that allows the Turkish military to intervene in Iraq and Syria.
State-run Anadolu Agency says the vote will take place Tuesday, on allowing Turkey to send troops over its southern borders to battle Kurdish rebels, Islamic State group fighters and other groups that Turkey views as terrorists.
The military’s current mandate expires at the end of October.
Turkey has regularly renewed the mandate every year since 2014 for cross border operations in Iraq and Syria.
