Turkey PM denies backing Islamic State

Turkey’s PM Ahmet Davutoglu has said his country will push again for a no-fly zone over Syria. In an exclusive interview with the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen, Mr. Davutoglu said a “safe area” was needed to support civilians from so-called Islamic State (IS) and Syrian government forces. He also said Turkey had become a “victim” of the Syrian crisis, and that supporting refugees fleeing Syria had become a “great burden”. Mr. Davutoglu also denied that his country supported IS, calling such accusations “unfair”.
