China Urges Turkey to End Syria Offensive

China has urged the Turkish government to put an end to its military incursion into Syria where over 160,000 civilians have been displaces in less than a week with several dozens killed, the foreign ministry said.

Turkey has been pushing deeper into the northern territories of Syria since last Wednesday when it launched a massive aerial and ground offensive in northeast Syria against the Kurds.

Geng Shuang, a spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry, said Turkey is required to cease fire immediately and “come back to the right track”.
