Damascus Condemns Turkish Intervention in Syria

The Syrian government condemned as a flagrant violation of its sovereignty Wednesday’s Turkish incursion into the border city of Jarablus as Ankara announced an operation against ISIL in the area.

The foreign ministry said it “condemns the crossing of the Turkey-Syria border by Turkish tanks and armored vehicles towards the town of Jarabulus with air cover from the US-led coalition and considers it a flagrant violation of Syrian sovereignty.”
