Federica Mogherini, head of EU diplomacy, wrote on her Twitter page that military operations in northeastern Syria "will exacerbate the suffering of the civilian population."


She also noted that these actions, in her opinion, “will undermine the ongoing work of the global coalition against ISIS * and will further complicate the prospects for the UN-led political process to achieve peace in the country.”

On October 5, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the country could launch a military operation in northern Syria in the coming days.

US President Donald Trump said he warned Turkey about the inadmissibility of striking at US troops or US allies in Syria.
