UN spokesman calls Turkey's military operation in Syria "incursion"

Turkey, which started its ground military operation in Syria, did not coordinate its actions with the United Nations, the UN chief’s spokesman Stephane Dujarric told journalists, TASS reports.

He described Ankara’s actions as an incursion.

"I would refer you to what I said yesterday [August 24] on the [Turkish] incursion, but there was no coordination with the United Nations, we are not involved in the coordination of military activities by one party or another," Dujarric said.
