President of Turkey Recept Tayyip Erdogan said Olive Branch operation in Syria will end “in very short time.”

Erdogan said “hopefully, we will complete this operation in a very short time,” Anadolu agency reported.

The president also criticized opposition Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), which called on people to take to the streets and protest against the military operation in Afrin.

“Nobody should take this call seriously... They will pay the heavy price," Erdogan said. "This is a national struggle. We would crush anybody who opposes this. There will be no compromises or tolerance on this issue.”
