Arab League ‘alarmed’ at Turkey’s Syria plans

‘Invasion would be blatant violation of Syria’s sovereignty’



Cairo - The head of the Arab League says he is alarmed at Turkey’s planned military offensive into northeastern Syria, against the Syrian Kurdish fighters there.

Ahmad Abu Al Geit said in a statement on Wednesday that such an invasion would be a “blatant violation of Syria’s sovereignty and threatens Syria’s integrity.”

He added that Turkey’s planned incursion also threatens to inflame further conflicts in eastern and northern Syria, and “could allow for the revival” of Daesh.
