Turkey shares a border with Syria, which has seen a bloody conflict since 2011 in which at least 400,000 people have died according to estimates by the United Nations.

Part of Syria has also been controlled by the ISIS terror group as part of its self-proclaimed caliphate. In October, Raqqa the capital of the ISIS caliphate was recaptured by US-backed forces.
