“France will focus diplomatic efforts in close cooperation with partners in the international antiterrorist coalition within the framework of the European Union, NATO and the UN Security Council in order to achieve an immediate cessation of the offensive operation launched by Turkey,” TASS quoted the agency as saying.

In addition, measures will be taken to ensure the security of French military and civilians who take part in the operations of the international anti-terrorist coalition and humanitarian missions.

Earlier, AFP, citing a statement by the French government, reported that the country decided to suspend all arms deliveries to Turkey due to the Turkish military operation in Syria.
