A total of 260,000 Syrian nationals have returned to a swathe of land in northern Syria where Turkey carried out a cross-border operation dubbed "Euphrates Shield," Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said Thursday.
Akar also said Turkey's operations in northern Iraq would continue until what he described as the terrorist threat to Turkish territory ended. He was speaking after a week of airstrikes in the area that have targeted Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) fighters.
