Turkish PM: No plans to send ground troops into Syria

Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu says air strikes against Islamic State IS militants and Kurdish PKK separatists could change the regional game. 

Mr Davutoglu said there are no plans to send ground troops into Syria and that the air strikes are meant to support moderate rebels fighting IS.

Yesterday Turkish jets again attacked PKK camps in northern Iraq. 

NATO is to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the situation tomorrow, at Turkey's request. 

Mr Davutoglu told a meeting of Turkish newspaper editors that, following Turkey's military action, there are now new conditions in the regional conflict.
