Turkey Will Do ’Whatever it Can’ to Prevent Kobane Fall

Local Editor

Turkey will do whatever it can to prevent the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobane falling to extremists, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said after the Turkish parliament gave the green light for military action.

ISIL militants have now advanced to a few kilometers from Kobane, known as Ain al-Arab in Arabic, which lies just across the Turkish border.

"We do not want Kobane to fall. We opened our arms to our brothers from Kobane," Davutoglu said in an interview with A Haber-ATV television late Thursday.
