Terror danger still remains in the Syrian town of Afrin, and the Turkish army will continue the anti-terrorist operation until the mission is fully completed, said Turkish Defense Minister Nurettin Canikli, APA reports citing NTV channel.

As for Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement that ‘Russian expects Turkey to return Afrin under the control of the Syrian government’, Canikli said: “Turkey will hand over Afrin to the legitimate government of Turkey after terror danger in the region is eliminated.”
