French DM urges Turkey to stop offensive in northeast Syria
PARIS, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- French Defense Minister Florence Parly on Wednesday urged Turkey to stop its military operation against the Kurdish forces in northeastern Syria.
"The Turkish offensive in northeastern Syria is dangerous. Dangerous for the security of the Kurds. Dangerous because it benefits Daesh (IS, Islamic State group) against whom we have been fighting for 5 years," Parly tweeted.
"It must stop," she said.
The minister said France had called for a United Nations Security Council meeting on the situation, which will be held on Thursday.
