ahli-ahli gabungan yang lain, Turki mempunyai sempadan yang sama dengan kawasan
di Syria diduduki oleh Negara Islam.
"Parlimen akan meluluskan mandat . . . pada 2
Oktober, dan kami akan mengambil segala langkah yang perlu untuk memastikan
sempadan kita, termasuk penglibatan tentera," katanya.

TURKISH troops Could be used 'to PROTECT
Safe ZONE
in Syria' – ERDOGAN . . .
Turkish troops could be used to guard a safe zone in
Syria near the Turkish border to host refugees fleeing the Islamic State (ISIS)
militants if an international agreement to establish such a zone is reached,
the Turkish president said.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan turned down allegations in the Western media that
his country is reluctant to get fully involved in the fight against the Islamic
State.
“We will act together with the [NATO] coalition in
terms of military, political and humanitarian support,” the Turkish president
told Daily Sabah paper on his way home from the United Nations General Assembly
meetings.
The talks are currently underway to determine the roles of the 104 states
taking part in the operation, Erdogan said.
The president reminded that, unlike other coalition members, Turkey has
common borders with areas in Syria occupied by the Islamic State.
“Parliament will pass a mandate… on October 2, and we will take all
necessary precautions to secure our borders, including military engagement,” he
said.
Erdogan stressed that “Turkish military alone” will be able to protect
the country’s borders from the jihadists.

Antara "langkah berjaga-jaga" perlu diambil bagi menangani
ancaman ISIS, beliau dinamakan penciptaan zon selamat untuk pelarian.
"1.5 juta orang telah melarikan diri dari perang kepada negara kita.
Kami mencadangkan penubuhan zon selamat di sempadan Syria untuk orang-orang
ini, "kata Presiden.
Apabila zon selamat ditubuhkan, ia boleh dijamin dengan menubuhkan
"satu zon larangan terbang" dan "tentera akan
melindunginya," katanya.
Menurut Erdogan, penciptaan syurga selamat untuk pelarian Syria akan
dibincangkan oleh ahli-ahli gabungan anti-ISIS.
"Amerika Syarikat pada mulanya, agak standoffish, tetapi saya percaya mereka kini
di atas kapal," katanya.
Limpahan Turki
Sementara itu, wilayah Turki terjejas oleh serangan Negara Islam sebagai
4 peluru mortar mendarat di sebelah Turki sempadan pada hari Sabtu,
mencederakan dua orang.
Pihak berkuasa di wilayah sempadan Sanliurfa telah
menyekat jalan utama ke sempadan Syria sebagai cagaran menjadi lebih teruk di
kawasan itu, Reuters mela-porkan.
Pada minggu lepas, jihad telah memerangi tentera Kurdish untuk bandar
Syria Kobani berhampiran sempadan Turki.
Serangan ini berterusan walaupun gabungan itu yang diketuai melancarkan
lebih banyak serangan udara terhadap Islam pada hari Sabtu.
Serangan udara yang memusnahkan sebuah bangunan ISIS dan dua kenderaan
tentera berhampiran Kobani berkata Perintah Pusat Amerika Syarikat.
Among the “necessary precautions” needed to be taken in order to cope
with the ISIS threat, he named the creation of the safe zone for the refugees.
“1.5 million people have fled from war to our
country. We propose the establishment of a safe zone on the Syrian border for
these people,” the President said.
Once the safe zone is set up, it can be secured by establishing “a no
fly-zone” and the “military will protect it,” he added.
According to Erdogan, the creation of the safe haven for Syrian refugees will
be discussed by the members of the anti-ISIS coalition.
“The US was at first, a bit standoffish, but I believe they are now
onboard,” he said.
Turkish spillover
Meanwhile, Turkish territory is affected by the Islamic State’s offensive
as four mortar shells landed on Turkish side of the border on Saturday,
injuring two people.
Authorities in the border province of Sanliurfa have blocked the main
road to the Syrian border as security worsens in the area, Reuters reports.
During the last week, the jihadists have been fighting Kurdish forces for
the Syrian town of Kobani near the Turkish border.
The assault continues despite the US-led coalition launching more
airstrikes against the Islamists on Saturday.
The airstrikes destroyed an ISIS building and two armed vehicles near
Kobani, the US Central Command said.
