Turkey says troops won’t leave Syria until other countries pull out

The Turkish president has said his troops will not leave Syria until all other countries have.

Turkey launched a military incursion into north-eastern Syria last month – taking control of Kurdish areas – and implementing what it calls a “safe zone”.

At least 90 civilians have been killed as a result and hundreds of ISIS prisoners have escaped during the fighting.

The de-facto leader of the Syrian Kurdish region told Channel 4 News today that she believes Turkey is trying to reinstate ISIS power in the area.
