Damascus, SANA – An official source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said that Syria denounces in the strongest of terms the blatant aggression carried out by Erdogan’s regime on Syrian territory on Tuesday April 25th, 2017, when Turkish warplanes shelled positions in northeast Syria, claiming the lives of scores of innocent Syrian civilians.

The source said that Syria affirms that this aggression violates international law, the UN Charter, and the principle of good neighborly relations, warning against tampering with Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and trespassing against its people.

The source went on to say that Syria calls on the international community and the UN to condemn this aggression and the policies of the Turkish regime that support terrorism.
