Turkey says France must take back its jihadists from Syria

France must take back its jihadist nationals from Syria, Turkey's top diplomat said Friday, insisting Washington was its only interlocutor for developments in the northeast where Ankara is threatening military action against Kurdish fighters. Asked about the possibility of a French-US troop deployment in northeast Syria, he said France's main concern should be to take back its nationals who have been jailed there in connection with jihadist activity.
