Paris, Oct 9, 2019 (AFP) — France "strongly condemns" Turkey's offensive in northeast Syria, European Affairs minister Amelie de Montchalin said Thursday, within minutes of Ankara launching cross-border strikes.

De Montchalin said France, Germany and Britain were working on a joint declaration "which will be extremely clear on the fact that we very strongly condemn" the Turkish campaign against Kurdish forces in northeast Syria.
