"Europe's security starts from Turkey, and for Turkey's security, a safe zone in northern Syria is a must," Davutoglu told members of his ruling AK Party in Ankara.
He added that the Turkish government has long called for a safe zone in northern Syria, which was not heard by Europe.
“Nevertheless, we’re determined to take joint action with Europe in the fight against terrorism. Europe has no other partner than Turkey to provide security for the region,” he said.
