FRENCH President Emmanuel Macron told his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan today that the UN-declared ceasefire applies to Afrin.
Turkey said yesterday that its invasion of northern Syria’s Kurdish enclave would not be affected by the UN security council’s 30-day ceasefire, as it was fighting “terrorists.”
The security council unanimously adopted a resolution on Saturday declaring a humanitarian ceasefire, adding that military operations against Isis, al-Qaida, the Nusra Front and “other terrorist groups, as designated by the security council” were exempt.
