Turkey is planning to join a US-backed offensive to liberate Iraqi city of Mosul from Islamic State terrorists, but has action plan 'B' if not allowed to be involved, President President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday.
Mosul has been under control of Daesh since 2014, and remains their main stronghold. The US-led coalition of more than 60 nations has been conducting airstrikes against Daesh in Iraq since then.
"We are determined to take part in an operation by coalition forces in Iraq. If they [the US-led coalition] do not want Turkey's involvement, a Plan B or Plan C will be implemented," Erdogan said addressing participants of a rally in the city of Konya.
