BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:30 P.M.) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday that his forces will bury the Kurdish forces east of the Euphrates if they do not leave the area.

"We entered Sinjar and Mount Karachok [which are important bases for the PKK/YPG] in northern Iraq and our warplanes turned those places into their graveyards," Erdoğan proclaimed, while boasting of his military's prowess.

The Turkish leader has vowed to eliminate both the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and People's Protection Units (YPG) from both Syria and Iraq, despite not having the approval of the aforementioned countries.

On Friday, the Iraqi government summoned the Turkish envoy to Iraq after Turkey carried out unauthorized airstrikes inside the country.
