According to the Turkish Defense Ministry, Hulusi Akar, Turkish Minister of Defence told Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu on Thursday that Turkey has given the retaliation to the increased attacks.

The defence chiefs exchanged views on bilateral matters as well as regional defence and security issues, a ministry statement said.

The statement added; “Turkey has given and will continue to give the necessary response to harassments and attacks aimed at disrupting the stability in the region and also targeting our citizens and civilian settlement areas."

Akar stressed Turkey's top priority is to permanently prevent the terrorist threat and corridor and to eliminate terrorist organizations in northern Syria along Turkey’s border.

The statement said that Turkey will continue fighting terrorism within its borders and beyond until the threat is eliminated.
