Erdogan: We will do our part against Islamic State

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he supports the US attacks on the Islamic State in Syria, while acknowledging that Turkey will play a backseat role in the righting.

He also said, however, that Turkey could give non-lethal military support to the U.S.-led coalition.
