The construction of a concrete wall along the Turkish-Syrian border will be completed in the first half of 2017, stated Turkish Defence Minister Fikri I??k, cited by Daily Sabah newspaper.
At present, a section of 270 km of the border fence has been completed. The fence has to protect Turkey from migrants and suspected extremists entering from Syria.
The construction of the next 200 km out of the remaining total of 520 km has begun, assured the minister.
The newspaper points out that Turkey has a 900-km border with Syria which needs to be protected.
The intention to turn Turkey into a Presidential Republic, the proposal to reinstate capital punishment and the role of the country in the operation for the re-taking of the Iraqi city of Mossul from the jihadists will be the focus of the conversation at a meeting between Turkish President Erdogan and the leader of the Nationalist Movement Party Devlet Bah?eli.
The meeting is scheduled for Thursday in Ankara.
