Turkey considers France's remarks regarding its operation into northern
Syria's Afrin region as"insults", Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu
said on Thursday.
French President Emmanuel Macron warned Turkey on
Wednesday that its operation against Kurdish militias in northern
Syria should not become an excuse to invade Syria, saying he wanted Ankara
to coordinate its action with its allies.
Cavusoglu also told reporters in Ankara that the Syrian peace talks in Geneva needed to be
revived, adding that the Syrian government needed to start negotiating in
order to do so, after a Russian-sponsored conference on reaching peace in
Syria was held this week in the Black Sea resort town of Sochi.
