ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey will not let northern Iraq's Sinjar region become a base for Kurdish PKK militants and will continue military operations there and in northern Syria "until the last terrorist is eliminated," President Tayyip Erdogan told Reuters on Tuesday.
"We are obliged to take measures. We must take steps. We shared this with the U.S. and Russia and we are sharing it with Iraq as well," Erdogan said in an interview in the presidential palace in Ankara. "It is an operation that (Iraqi Kurdistan President Massoud) Barzani has been informed about."
