Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan wants Syrian government forces to move out of areas near the
Turkish border so it can resettle up to 2 million refugees there, his spokesman told The Associated Press on Saturday, adding that Erdogan will raise the issue in talks next week with Syria's ally,
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Government troops have moved in to several locations in northeastern
Syria this week, invited by Kurdish-led fighters to protect them from Turkey's invasion.
