Never Giving Up? Turkey’s Allies May Support Idea of 'Safe Zone' in Syria

11 November 2015, 11:16 GMT

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On October 5, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan proposed a no-fly zone and a safe zone, as well as increased training and equipment for Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters to decrease the high numbers of Syrians fleeing to Europe and other states.

Previously, Turkey proposed a buffer zone in northern Syria, but the United States and NATO did not support the initiative.

"Right now, we believe is not the right time for a safe zone or a no-fly zone," Warren said when asked about establishing a safe zone on the Syrian-Turkish border.
