SYRIA CEASEFIRE UPDATE: Turkey to Clear ‘Corridor of Terror’ at Border.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his country is determined to eliminate the “corridor of terror” along its border with Syria by clearing the Islamic State group and Syrian Kurdish fighters from the area.

Addressing a group of local administrators on Thursday, Erdogan reiterated that a secure no-fly zone which Turkey would like established in Syria would help end the flow of refugees to Turkey and beyond.

Turkey last month sent troops and tanks into Syria to help Syrian opposition rebels re-take IS strongholds near the Turkish border and curb the advance of Syrian Kurdish militia, which are affiliated with Turkey’s outlawed Kurdish rebels.

Erdogan sees no practical difference between ISIS and the Kurds.
