October 14, 2019 "The arms embargo" to Turkey "seems obvious. It would be absurd if there were no such provision". The president of the European Parliament, David Sassoli, said this on the sidelines of a conference at the Casa della Carità in Milan. "We need to move to very concrete sanctions. I hope that today the European Council of Foreign Ministers makes decisions in this sense", Sassoli added.

According to the EU Parliament president David Sassoli, "there must be strong diplomatic pressure on America and Russia to take responsibility for a scene in which they have the power and the ability to stop these war actions" in Syria.

"There must be responsibility - he then urged Sassoli - on the side of Europe. Europe cannot do everything, but it must demonstrate that it is not only indignant but is studying useful measures to stop this act of war". The words against Turkish President Erdogan are also harsh: "It is useless - Sassoli said - that you keep saying that it is a police operation, when civilians are bombed, heavy artillery is used, it is not police and war. I believe that it is intolerable for us ".
