Erdogan says time to 'eradicate' IS, Kurdish fighters in Syria

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday it was time to destroy "terrorist" groups that posed a threat to Syria's survival, about Islamic State group jihadists and Kurdish fighters.

"Daesh, the PKK, and their affiliates -- which threaten the survival of Syria -- must be eradicated," he told journalists while returning from a Cairo summit, using an Arabic acronym for IS.

"It's time to neutralize the existing terrorist organizations in Syria."
