“Greek Ambassador Lazaris was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because of the opportunities that his country provides to terrorist organizations and the PKK rally organized around the Turkish embassy in Athens,” TRT Haber reported.

As Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said earlier, the Turkish army will conduct a new cross-border operation in the Syrian areas of Manbij and Tall Rifat, it will be directed against members of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the People's Self-Defense Forces (SNS), who are recognized by Ankara as terrorists.

The United States opposed the Turkish military operation in northern Syria.
