GENEVA, (ST)- Syria's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva Husam Eddin Ala has warned against the Turkish regime's political maneuvers which exploit the refugee crisis to achieve political and economic gains and justify establishing a so-called "safe zone" inside the Syrian territories.

In a statement during the 70^th session of the executive committee of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Ala stressed that the Syrian state is currently focusing on reconstructing what terrorism had destroyed and on facilitating the return of the displaced Syrians to their areas and meeting their basic needs.

CAPITALS, (ST)- The Turkish regime on Wednesday launched a military operation in the north of Syria alleging that it is "protecting its border security against the Kurdish militias".

The European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker urged Turkey to stop its military operation in Syria, according to Reuters.

DAMASCUS, (ST)-The Syrian Arab Republic condemns in the strongest terms the Turkish regime's aggressive intentions, reckless remarks and military buildup at the Syrian borders, stressing that this behavior flagrantly violates the international law and the Security Council resolutions which all call for respecting Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, an official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said on Wednesday.

Erdogan's regime's aggressive behavior proves the Turkish expansionist aspirations in the Syrian territories and it can't be justified under any pretext, added the source, affirming Syria's determination to confront the Turkish aggression by all possible legitimate means.

The source pointed out that the Turkish regime's claims about borders' security are belied by this regime's disregarding of Adana Agreement which guarantees the security of the borders between the two countries if Erdogan's government abides by its items.
