WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- The White House said Monday that it was not prepared to enter into a deal with Turkey to establish a no-fly zone inside Syria.
U.S. officials have repeatedly expressed a willingness to consider no-fly zones that would protect Syrian civilians and some rebels from both the Islamic State and the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. In October, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry described the proposal as "worth looking at very, very closely."
