Kuwait Says Turkish Military Operation In Syria Threatens Regional Stability

KUWAIT, Oct 10 (NNN-KUNA) – The military operation, launched by the Turkish army in Syria, poses a direct threat to the security and stability in the region, Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry said, on Wednesday.

“The military escalation risks undermining the chances of political solution, sought by international community, after the tangible progress made in the quest for peace in Syria,” an official source at the ministry said.

The source called on all parties concerned, to exercise self-restraint and avoid resorting to military option that could exacerbate the suffering of the Syrians.

In addition, he stressed the need to realise the aspirations of the Syrian people, and maintain Syria’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.

Turkey launched airstrikes aimed at crushing Kurdish fighters in northern Syria on Wednesday, after U.S. troops pulled back from the area.
