SYRIA has complained to the United Nations over a recent US visit to the country’s north-east, denouncing it as “unlawful” and a violation of national sovereignty.
A US State Department delegation headed by Ethan Goldrich was welcomed at the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) headquarters in Hasakah province last week.
He met Mazlum Abdi, the SDF commander who reportedly lives in a US military base, and officials from the Syrian Democratic Council, the political wing of the Kurdish-led forces.
