UK Foreign Secretary Calls on Ankara to Show Restraint Amid Turkey's Offensive in Syria

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab during his meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Thursday expressed concern over rising tensions in Syria after Turkey started its offensive against the Kurds and called on Ankara to show restraint, warning about serious humanitarian consequences.

"I’ve spoken to my Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu @MFATurkey to express the UK’s disappointment and concern about the military incursion into NE Syria, and call for restraint. The intervention risks greater humanitarian suffering and undermines the focus on countering Daesh [Islamic State terrorist group, banned in Russia]," Raab wrote on Twitter.
