Erdogan backtracks on Syria goals after call with Putin, says terrorists are only target

Erdogan backtracks on Syria goals after call with Putin, says terrorists are only target, by RT.

Turkey’s military operation in northern Syria does not target any country or individual, and is aimed only at terrorist groups, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. He had earlier stated that Turkey was in Syria to “end the rule of the cruel Assad.”

Whew. That would have set up a much more serious conflict.
