Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Tuesday said Ankara would give "all kinds of support" for operations to push Islamic State (IS) jihadists out of the Syrian town of Jarabulus near the border with Turkey.

"We will provide all kinds of support to the Jarabulus operation," Cavusoglu told a news conference, amid reports Ankara-backed rebels were massing on the border in anticipation of an impending operation against IS.
