Creating ‘safe zones’ in Syria impractical – Obama

„As a practical matter, sadly, it is very difficult to see how it would operate short of us essentially being willing to militarily take over a chunk of that country,“ Obama stated at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, broadcast by the TRT World news channel.

The comment comes a day after Merkel urged to create security zones in Syria where displaced people could be guaranteed safety.
