TURKEY shelled Kurdish militias in Syria for the second day yesterday in an attempt to save the terrorist forces it backs from destruction.

The bombardment of People’s Protection Units (YPG) positions to the west and south of the the border town of Azaz in northern Aleppo province began on Saturday.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu claimed that his military was merely retaliating for YPG shelling of a military base in the Turkish village of Akcabaglar, just north of the border in Kilis province. He demanded that the YPG halt its offensive on Azaz and withdraw from the Menagh air base to the south, which was secured by the Kurds late last week.
