Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said in Ankara on Wednesday (October 16) that the only way his country's offensive into northeast Syria ends is if Kurdish fighters withdraw from the area.

Erdogan said the quickest solution was for "all terrorists" to drop their weapons and pull back from the area by Wednesday evening.

The operation will end when the "safe zone" is established, he said, and Turkey was not open to negotiating this.
