Turkey will maintain its military presence in Syria and Iraq until the security of its borders is ensured.
Modern.az reports that Turkey's Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler stated this in a written response to a question from AFP.
"We maintain our military presence in Iraq and Syria. When we conclude that the necessary conditions for regional security and the security of our borders have been met, the status of our bases and our military presence in the region will be reviewed," the minister noted.
