RIYADH/MOSCOW - The Kremlin complained on Monday that Turkey’s incursion into northern Syria was “not exactly” compatible with Syrian territorial integrity, and Ankara should ensure its actions were proportionate.
Washington’s Kurdish former allies said they invited in the government troops as an emergency step to help fend off an assault by Turkey, launched last week after President Donald Trump moved his troops aside in what the Kurds call a betrayal. That raises the risk of a clash between two Russian allies and of Moscow’s own forces being sucked into some kind of incident with NATO member Turkey, to which it has drawn steadily closer diplomatically.
The ministry did not identify the Turkish officials, but President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that Turkey’s incursion would stretch from Kobani in the west to Hasaka in the east, going some 30 km into Syrian territory. “The main thing is that the Turks act in a way that is proportionate with the situation and that their actions do not harm the most important thing - efforts to get a political settlement in Syria. That is the main thing for us,” said Ushakov.Asked earlier if Turkey’s actions squared with Moscow’s desire for Syria’s territorial integrity to be restored and respected, he said: “Not exactly.”
Peskov said Moscow had already warned all sides in the Syrian conflict to avoid any action that could escalate tensions in the area or damage a fragile political process.
