SOCHI. Feb 14 (Interfax) - Syria's territorial integrity should be preserved, provided that Manbij is freed from terrorists, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
"We do want to ensure Syria's territorial integrity, but it is necessary above all to free Manbij from terrorists," Erdogan said after talks with his Russian and Iranian counterparts.
"On the other hand, we should not give away part of Idlib to terrorists. In this way, the people of Syria should know who the lawful owner of these territories is," he said.
