Damascus, Jan 15, 2019 (AFP) — Damascus denounced Ankara's "language of occupation and aggression" after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday that Turkey would set up a so-called security zone in northern Syria.
"The statements made today by the Turkish president reaffirm that this regime... does not deal (with anyone) except in the language of occupation and aggression," state news agency SANA quoted a source at the Syrian foreign ministry as saying.
