ISTANBUL: (APP) Turkey mulls sending troops to Syria if needed.
Turkey is ready to send ground troops into Syria if necessary, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Wednesday, after weeks of deadly rocket strikes on a Turkish region from jihadists across the border.
"If it becomes necessary then we will send the ground forces," Davutoglu told Al Jazeera television in an interview, when asked if Turkey was mulling sending troops to Syria.
"We are ready to take all measures that we need, both inside Turkey and outside, to provide for our own security," he added, according to a transcript published on Al-Jazeera's Turkish website.
