Turkish Prime Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, Wednesday, said that Ankara was in a position to send ground troops to Syria "if necessary".
Davutoglu told the broadcaster Al Jazeera Turkey that such a move by Ankara would be legal as the UN had made a number of decisions on the fight against Daesh in terms of self-defense and countering terrorism.
"If necessary, we will send troops to Syria. We will take all steps to protect our own country internally and externally, " Davutoglu said.
