WASHINGTON: The United States is accelerating efforts to help Turkey clamp down on its border with Syria, senior US officials said, and for the first time will offer technologies to Ankara to help it secure the frontier.
Washington and Ankara have been discussing for months how to seal the last piece of unsecured border, a 98 km-long stretch that has served as a thruway for Islamic State fighters, black-market goods and war materiel.
