2018-01-21
[PRESSTV] The Syrian government has condemned the "brutal Ottoman Turkish aggression" against the Kurdish-controlled enclave of Afrin, rejecting Ankara’s claim about having informed Damascus of the operation.

Damascus "strongly condemns the brutal Ottoman Turkish aggression on Afrin, which is an inseparable part of Syrian territory," state-run news agency
...and if you can't believe the state-run news agency who can you believe?...
SANA cited a Syrian foreign ministry source as saying on Saturday.

"Syria completely denies claims by the Ottoman Turkish regime that it was informed of this military operation," the source added.

Earlier in the day, Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told the 24 TV broadcaster that Ankara was informing the Syrian government "in writing" on the Afrin assault.

Russia has voiced concern about a Ottoman Turkish military operationin Afrin region, calling on the sides to exercise restraint.
