Speaking on a joint press conference with Sierra Leone President Ernest Bai Koroma in Ankara, Erdogan said, "A terrorist group cannot be defeated with another one," Xinhua citing private broadcaster NTV as saying.

"Everything that happens in Syria and Iraq is a matter of national security for Turkey," he stated.
