Turkey[/B] faces a "terrorist threat" on its southern border and has every right to defend itself, said Tuesday the White House National Security Council's Director of Strategic Communications, John Kirby, commenting on Ankara's operations in Syria and Iraq.
Assessing developments on Turkey's border with Syria, Kirby said: "Turkey continues to suffer from the terrorist threat, particularly on its southern border. Of course, they have every right to defend themselves and their citizens."
Kirby added, however, that their point of concern about developments in the region is the evolution of the "battle against the Islamic State (DAESH)."
An operation in the region may limit our partners' ability to fight DEASH. We want to keep up the pressure against it," he said."
