“These results show we will continue to liberate Syrian lands and open the way for our guests in our country to return home safely,” Erdogan said in an election victory speech on Monday, referring to the Syrian refugees.

Turkish troops and their allied militants seized Syria’s western Kurdish enclave of Afrin in March before turning their attention to Manbij where the US has set up a military base to support the Kurdish militants who control the city, Press TV reported.

Turkish authorities have indicated to move deeper into other areas inside Syria as part of Ankara's purported campaign to secure borders with the Arab country.

Addressing supporters outside his ruling AK party headquarters in Ankara, Erdogan vowed that Turkey would act more decisively against terrorist organizations.

Turkey has been opening new military fronts in Syria. Earlier this year, it launched the ongoing "Olive Branch" offensive against purported positions of the US-backed YPG militants in Afrin.

Last Monday, Turkish troops reached the outskirts of Manbij after striking a deal with the US to remove Washington-backed Kurdish militants from the area.

Turkey began its military intervention in Syria without permission from the Syrian government.
