面对任何针对我国国家安全和叙利亚领土完整的恐怖主义威胁，我们都不会袖手旁观。工人党/民盟/人保部队开火骚扰和敌对行动事件最近有所增加，加剧了这些恐怖分子越界构成的安全威胁。幼发拉底河以东的工人党/民盟/人保部队部队向我们的边境哨所开火进行骚扰。他们正在挖掘战壕和隧道来加固阵地。我们永远不会允许恐怖分子在我们的边界沿线扎根。保护我们的边界是我们的主权。必要时，土耳其将采取必要步骤，确保边境安全，抗击工人党/民盟/人保部队的威胁。
We will not stand idle in the face of any terrorist threat that targets our national security and Syria’s territorial integrity. The number of incidents of harassment fire and hostile actions by the PKK/PYD/ YPG has recently increased. That exacerbates the security threat posed by those terrorists across our borders. The PKK/PYD/YPG units to the east of the Euphrates are opening harassment fire on our border posts. They are digging trenches and tunnels to fortify their positions. We will never allow the entrenchment of terrorists along our borders. Protecting our borders is our sovereign right. Turkey will take the necessary steps to ensure its border security against the PKK/ PYD/YPG threat as and when it deems necessary.
