If confirmed, it is likely to mark a major blow to the already-stalled peace process with the Kurds.
Turkey has also agreed to allow the US to use a key airbase to stage attacks against the self-styled Islamic State.
Previously Ankara has been a reluctant partner against ISIL but now says
Damascus is neither willing nor able to tackle the jihadists.
