UN chief expresses ‘deep concern’ over Turkish invasion of Syria
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres expresses his “deep concern” at the spiraling violence in Syria, a day after Turkey launched an offensive in Kurdish-controlled areas.
“I want to express my deep concern about the escalation of conflicts we are witnessing in eastern Syria,” Guterres tells a press conference in Copenhagen.
He says any solution to the conflict needs “to respect the sovereignty of the territory and the unity of Syria.”
His remarks came as the five European members of the UN Security Council — France, Germany, Britain, Belgium and Poland — called on Ankara to halt its military operation against Syrian Kurdish forces.
