iStock/Thinkstock(ISTANBUL) — Turkey’s prime minister says his country will not assist Iraq militarily in retaking the city of Mosul from ISIS.
Ahmet Davutoglu says Turkey will, however, provide logistical support to its neighbor.
Iraqi forces are preparing for a large-scale offensive to regain control of its second-largest city. ISIS seized Mosul last summer as it swept across Syria and northern Iraq.
The prime minister’s remarks Thursday follow the recent announcement that Turkey and the U.S. would train moderate Syrian rebels.
