Turkey's National Defense Minister Ismet Yilmaz on Saturday denied any involvement in the US air strikes in Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) sites in northern Iraq, local Daily News reported.

"The US is using all its resources to bomb ISIL sites that it sees as a threat to its interests," Yilmaz said in a speech in the eastern Turkish province of Sivas on Saturday.

"Because of our responsibility of those 49 kidnapped people in Iraq, it is not possible for Turkey to do anything different to what we are currently doing," said the minister, denying Turkey providing any support to the US airstrikes in Iraq.

On Friday, the US military conducted air strikes against the ISIL targets near the city of Erbil, capital of Iraq's Kurdistan region.

The ISIL fighters took control of the Turkish consulate in Iraq 's Mosul in June, kidnapping 49 staff and their family members, including the consul-general, according to an earlier statement released by Turkey's Foreign Ministry.
