Iran condemns Turkey push into Syrian region
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s official IRNA news agency is reporting that the country’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the Turkish assault on the Syrian city of Afrin and expressed its concerns over this operation.
The Sunday report by IRNA quotes the ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi as saying Iran is concerned about ongoing developments in the city of Afrin and following them closely.
Ghasemi calls on Turkey to end this offensive operation immediately. “The continuing crisis in Afarin may boost terrorist groups again in the northern parts of Syria,” he says.
Turkey’s state-run news agency, Anadolu, said Turkey’s chief of staff, Gen. Hulusi Akar, discussed the operation with his Iranian counterpart in a telephone conversation on Sunday.
