Only Turkey truly fights against Daesh: Turkish PM

Turkey is the only country that is truly fighting against the Daesh terrorist organization, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on Friday.


Speaking at an opening ceremony of environmental projects in Ankara, Yildirim said the world was pretending to fight against the terror group, while Turkey was doing the actual fight.

He said Turkey has resolved the issue of Al-Bab, Syria's northern strategic town where Turkish-military backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) forces are now said to be in control.

“Life returns to normal there,” he added.

On Thursday, Defense Minister Fikri Isik said FSA fighters took control of “almost all” of Al-Bab as part of the ongoing Operation Euphrates Shield.
