Turkey and the United States have reached an agreement in which Turkish warplanes will join an ongoing operation to capture Mosul, the Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said, Hurriyet reports.
The agreement between the two allies was reached at a meeting between Turkish and American chiefs of general staff in Washington over the weekend.
Turkey is not joining aerial strikes right now, Yıldırım said. "But there is an agreement on the participation of Turkish aerial vehicles in the operation in principle. In the event there is a need, our warplanes will participate as part of the coalition. What is important is to be part of it," Yıldırım told reporters.
