Syria’s slams newly proposed safe zone as ‘Turkish occupation’

The Syrian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Tuesday that slammed the newly proposed safe zone in northern Syria that would be under the control of the Turkish forces.

According to the Syrian Foreign Minister, the recent statements by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reveal that his regime only deals in the language of “occupation and aggression.”

An official source at Foreign and Expatriates Ministry told SANA in a statement that the “Turkish regime couldn’t be but an irresponsible, reckless regime that behaves in a way which contradicts with the simplest principles of the UN charter.”

“Syria affirms that any attempt to target its unity will be considered as clear aggression and an occupation of its territories as well as a support and protection for the international terrorism by Turkey,” the SANA source added.
