On March 4, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Ankara was in a position to send ground troops to Syria if this move is “necessary”.
Davutoglu believes that such a move by Turkey would be legal because the UN made a number of decisions on the fight against ISIS in terms of self-defense.
“If necessary, we will send troops to Syria. We will take all steps to protect our own country internally and externally, ” Davutoglu told Al Jazeera Turkey.
