UN Security Council to meet Thursday on Turkey’s military operation against Kurds in Syria
UNITED NATIONS, Oct 09 (APP):The UN Security Council will meet behind closed doors on Thursday to address the Turkish military operation against Kurdish fighters in northeast Syria.
The discussion by the 15-member Security Council was requested by five European members — Britain, France, Germany, Belgium and Poland, diplomats said.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, announcing the start of the military action on Wednesday, said the aim was to eliminate what he called a “terror corridor” on Turkey’s southern border.
The move came just days after U.S. troops pulled back from the area.
