Turkey will not back down from its offensive against Kurdish fighters - Erdogan


Turkey will not back down from its offensive against Kurdish fighters in northeastern Syria "no matter what anyone says", Erdogan echoed, saying that the battle would continue until "ultimate victory" is achieved.
"We are determined to continue the operation until the end, without paying attention to threats. We will absolutely finish the job we started. Our battle will continue until ultimate victory is achieved," Erdogan said during a speech in the Azerbaijan's capital, Baku.
He is not comfortable with the European Union and Arab League for their criticism of Turkey's operation and asked for international funds for Ankara's "safe zone" plans in northeast Syria.
Meanwhile, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said any military operation must fully respect the UN Charter and international humanitarian law.
Spokesman Farhan Haq said: "Civilians and civilian infrastructure should be protected. The secretary-general believes that there's no military solution to the Syrian conflict."
The UN Security Council's president, South African ambassador Jerry Matthews Matjila, also appealed to Turkey to "protect civilians" and exercise "maximum restraint".
