Davutoglu says Turkey ready to send ground troops to Syria if necessary


(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Amman May 4 (Petra) -- Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu Wednesday said that Ankara was in a position to send ground troops to Syria "if necessary".

Davutoglu told the broadcaster Al Jazeera Turkey that such a move by Ankara would be legal as the UN had made a number of decisions on the fight against Daesh in terms of self-defense and countering terrorism.

"If necessary we will send troops to Syria. We will take all steps to protect our own country internally and externally " Davutoglu said.
