The strip of land bordering Turkey and Syria has been cleared of ISIS militants, said Turkish Prime Minister Beinali Yildirim in a televised speech on Sunday.
The prime minister added the 91 kilometer borderline from Azaz to Jarablus with Syria is now free from the control of Islamic State militants and this also cuts the supply line for them through which imports of fighters and weapons were done.
Monitors too confirm the presence of ISIS militants has come to an end on the Turkey-Syria border.
Meanwhile, it is to note Turkey describes Kurdish groups too as terrorists. A Syrian Kurdish group named YPG is seen with equal eyes as other terror groups.
YPG is backed by the US-led coalition and has recently gained control in some of the areas in the north of Syria.
The PM added Turkey will not allow for the formation of an artificial state.
Apart from this, the Syrian government forces too announced Sunday they have regained control of the eastern part of Aleppo from the IS militants once again.
Currently there are 250,000 civilians living in the areas of Aleppo controlled by terror group ISIS.
Aleppo city is under controls of several groups in different parts. Pro-government forces are trying to regain the entire city by surrounding it and cutting the supply line.
