CAIRO, Oct 9 (NNN-MENA) – Egypt, Greece and Cyprus slammed the military operation announced by Turkey, to be launched soon in Syrian territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The remarks came in a final communique, after a tripartite summit in Cairo attended by Egyptian President, Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Cypriot President, Nicos Anastasiades, according to state-run Ahram news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The three leaders expressed their “deep concern” against the “illegal and illegitimate” Turkish military operation in Syria, strongly condemning any Turkish attempts to undermine the territorial integrity of Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Tuesday, Turkey’s Defence Ministry said, the Turkish army has completed all preparations for a military operation, in the east of the Euphrates River in Syria, to establish a safe zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turkey decided to launch the military campaign against the Kurdish militants in northern Syria, following the decision by U.S. President, Donald Trump’s administration to leave Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The People’s Protection Units (YPG), which controls the east of the Euphrates, was a key partner of the United States, but Ankara considers it as a “terrorist” offshoot of the outlawed Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK) in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, leaders of Cyprus, Greece and Egypt tackled illegal migration and the importance of intensifying global efforts to combat terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The summit is the seventh, since tripartite cooperation between the three countries was launched in late 2014, and the third to be hosted by Cairo.– NNN-MENA <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
