Raab expressed Cavusoglu disappointment with Turkey’s operation in Syria

On Twitter, the head of the Foreign Office wrote that he also called on Ankara to restrain.

I've spoken to my Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu @MFATurkey to express the UK's disappointment and concern about the military incursion into NE Syria, and call for restraint. The intervention risks greater humanitarian suffering and undermines the focus on countering Daesh

“The intervention carries the risk of exacerbating the suffering that the population is experiencing, and undermining its focus on confronting the Islamic State *,” said Raab.

October 9, Turkey launched the military operation "Spring of Peace" in northeast Syria. On the same day, the Turkish army launched the ground part of the military operation.

Belgium's Permanent Representative to the UN Mark Pexten said that France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland and Belgium will request a meeting of the UN Security Council in connection with the situation.

On October 10, Erdogan noted that the Turkish military managed to eliminate “109 terrorists” from the start of the operation. The president added that if the European Union calls this operation an invasion, Turkey will open its borders and “release 3.6 million refugees into Europe.”
