Syria Condemns Turkish Airstrikes, Urges UN Action
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Syria's government condemned Turkey for two days of shelling targeting mainly Kurdish forces in the northern province of Aleppo and urged the United Nations to act.
It also blamed Turkey for allowing gunmen and weaponry to enter Syria from the Bab al-Salama crossing into Aleppo province, where army forces have recently launched a major campaign.
"The foreign ministry strongly condemns the repeated Turkish crimes and attacks against the Syrian people and Syria's territorial integrity," AFP cited Syria's official news agency SANA as reporting on Sunday.
The ministry called on the UN Security Council to "put an end to the crimes of the Turkish regime," SANA added.
The ministry statement said that on Saturday 12 pick-up trucks equipped with heavy machine guns and ammunition had crossed into Syria from Turkey via Bab al-Salama.
