Turkey is building 21 bulletproof and portable watchtowers on the border with Syria where part of the wall, separating the two countries, has already been constructed, local media reported Friday.
The watchtowers will be placed at a certain interval on the borderline, the pro-government Yeni Şafak newspaper said.
The five-floor watchtowers will be equipped with all necessary facilities that troops stationed there might require, the daily added.
The windows of the watchtowers will be bulletproof and their walls will be fortified to withstand explosions, according to the media outlet.
A 454-mile stretch of a wall has already been built. Its construction is expected to be finished by October. The full length of the wall will be 515 miles and it is supposed to span the entire length of Syrian-Turkish border.
