Turkish military continue shelling on PYD positions in Syria near border line while PM Davutoğlu demands full withdrawal of the terrorist group from the region.
The Turkish military shelled positions held by PYD terrorists in northern Syria for a second day on Sunday, killing two fighters, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.
Turkey on Saturday demanded the pro-Assad terrorist group in Syria withdraw from areas that it had captured in the northern Aleppo region in recent days from insurgents in Syria, including the Menagh air base. The shelling has targeted those areas.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said on Saturday the shelling had taken place under "the rules of engagement against forces that represented a threat in Azaz and the surrounding area".
Ankara views the group as an extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) terrorist group, which has waged a three-decade-old insurgency in southeast Turkey and killed more than 40,000 civilians. The US, EU and Turkey listed PKK as a terrorist organization.
Davutoğlu demanded that the Menagh base be evacuated and said he had spoken to U.S. Vice President Joe Biden to make that point and stress that the PYD was an extension of the PKK and a direct threat to Turkey.
The shelling intensified at 2 a.m. (0000 GMT) before dying down but not stopping, said the Observatory, which reports on the war using a network of sources on the ground.
The PYD backed by both US and Russia is working with President Bashar al-Assad, to control areas along Turkish border line.
