BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:30 P.M.) – The Syrian Foreign Ministry told the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) on Tuesday that they strongly condemn the presence of U.S. and Turkish troops in the city of Manbij in northeast Aleppo.
“The Syrian Arab Republic expresses its strong condemnation and absolute rejection of the incursion of Turkish and US troops in the vicinity of the city of Manbij, which comes in the context of the continued Turkish and US aggression against the Syrian sovereignty and territorial integrity,” an official source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said in a statement to SANA.
The SANA source added that the Syrian people and the Syrian Arab Army, which achieved the successive achievements against terrorist groups, are more resolute to liberate the entire Syrian soil from any foreign presence and preserve the sovereignty and unity of Syria.
Both Turkey and the U.S. do not currently have diplomatic relations with Damascus, making the situation in the northern part of Syria all the more complicated.
