ANKARA, (ST)- Turkey doesn’t have the right to intervene in Syria under any justifications or pretexts, Ex-Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Abdullatif Sener has stressed, pointing out that Erdogan’s policies and intervention in Syria’s internal affairs from the very beginning of the crisis in Syria has been the reason behind the spread of terrorism.
In a statement to the Turkish press, Sener, who criticized the new Turkish aggression on the Syrian territories, affirmed that Turkey’s President Recep Tayyib Erdogan adopts wrong and dangerous policy in Syria.
