This was stated by the representative of the French Foreign Ministry.

“France expresses strong concern about the emergence of information regarding the possible unilateral military operation of Turkey in northeastern Syria,” TASS quoted the agency as saying.

In Paris, they added that the Turkish operation "would be contrary to the interests of the international coalition."

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

The EU criticized the planned operation.

As the representative of the European diplomatic service Maya Kosyanchich noted, the resumption of hostilities in northeastern Syria undermines the prospects for a peaceful settlement of the conflict and worsens the situation of the population.

The United States, in turn, said it would not support Turkey’s military operation and would not be in the vicinity of the operation.
