The wall is to be built along Hatay province's Cilvegozu gate with Syria, he said, adding that a protocol with the Turkish Armed Forces had already been signed for the construction of the wall.
"According to the protocol, we have defined a project that aims to increase the security of the military zone by building a part barbed wire, part concrete wall with security camera system," the minister said.
The Cilvegozu gate lies less than 10 km from Reyhanli town center, where a twin-bomb attack killed 51 and wounded more than 100 on May 11.
Turkish leaders have associated the attacks with pro-Syria groups and intelligence organizations in Syria. However, Damascus denied the accusation.
