Syrian Kurdish official says Turkish attack weakens ability to guard ISIS detainees
Iran’s foreign ministry called on Turkey on Thursday to immediately halt its military offensive in Syria and pull its forces out of that country.
In a statement posted on its official website, the ministry expressed concern about the humanitarian situation and the dangers posed to civilians in the conflict zone.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran… emphasises (the need for) an immediate stop to the attacks and the exit of the Turkish military from Syrian territory,” it said.
A top Syrian Kurdish official said on Thursday that Turkish attacks weaken the ability of security forces in northeast Syria to guard prisons holding Islamic State detainees.
Badran Jia Kurd told Reuters that this may lead to the escape of jihadists and that the number of prison guards is reduced as fighting with Turkey intensifies
