The United Arab Emirates condemned in the strongest terms the Turkish military aggression against Syria.

A statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said that this aggression represents a dangerous development and a blatant and unacceptable aggression against the sovereignty of a brotherly Arab state in contravention of the rules of international law.

The statement affirmed the UAE's firm stance and rejection of all that affects the sovereignty of Arab national security and threatens international peace and security, warning of the consequences of this aggression on the unity and territorial integrity of Syria and the political process.
