TEHRAN, May 6 - Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, speaking in front of his supporters in Istanbul, announced his manifesto for the upcoming snap elections in the country, which are due to be held next month.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) – Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, speaking in front of his supporters in Istanbul, announced his manifesto for the upcoming snap elections in the country, which are due to be held next month.
In the wake of Ankara's Olive Branch Operation, military offensive in the Kurdish enclave of Afrin in the northern Syria, Erdogan promised new Turkish missions in the country.
"We will not give up on constricting terrorist organisations. We will add new ones to the Euphrates Shield and Olive Branch operations. Our soldiers are ready for new missions," the president said.
In late March, the Kurdish-dominated Syrian city of Afrin went under the full control of the Turkish military forces, however, Erdogan stated that the advance would not end with the capture of Afrin, noting that the regions of Manbij and Idlib would be the next targets.
Ankara launched operation code-named Olive Branch in January, aiming to clear Turkey's Syrian border of the Kurdish groups, which it believes to be linked to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), listed as a terrorist organization by Ankara.
