Syria can be split into parts if the military conflict continues in this country, said Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.

He added that all countries, including Turkey support Syria's territorial integrity, TRT Haber TV channel reported Feb. 25.

Syria has been suffering from an armed conflict since March 2011, which, according to the UN, has so far claimed the lives of over 220,000 people.

Militants from various armed groups are confronting the Syrian government troops.

The "Islamic State" (IS, aka ISIS, ISIL or Daesh) and Jabhat al-Nusra are the most active terrorist groups in Syria.
