Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:
I want to make it very clear that Israel’s actions in Syria should not first be presented or identified within the perspective of Turkish security concerns.
It is violating the territorial integrity and sovereignty of a nation-state called Syria, and it is occupying it. It is a major national security threat for Syria, just as it is a national security threat for Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza.
Therefore, I think all the Arab countries, the Muslim countries, the regional countries, the Europeans, and everybody else should come together and confront this policy.
