ANKARA - Turkey is ready to launch another operation in northern Syria to secure its borders by eliminating terrorist elements to ensure the safe return of Syrian refugees and Syria’s territorial integrity.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Sunday that Turkey is ready to launch "Operation Peace Spring" east of the Euphrates River in northern Syria to clear the region of terrorists.

"It is maybe today or tomorrow the time to clear the way for [our] peace efforts which is set and the process for them was started,” Erdogan said.

Erdogan reiterated that his country aims to establish peace east of the Euphrates River by purging the Syrian region from terrorists.

"Turkey backs the territorial integrity of Syria and the political and administrative unity of Syrians,” he said earlier.
