Turkey is planning to join an offensive to liberate Iraqi city of Mosul from ISIL terrorists, but has action plan ‘B’ if not allowed to be involved, President President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday.

Mosul has been under control of ISIL since 2014, and remains their main stronghold.

“We are determined to take part in an operation by coalition forces in Iraq. If they [the US-led coalition] do not want Turkey’s involvement, a Plan B or Plan C will be implemented,” Erdogan said addressing participants of a rally in the city of Konya.
