Paris, Jan 31, 2018 (AFP) — French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview Wednesday that he would have a "real problem" with Turkey's intervention against a Kurdish militia in Syria if it turned into an outright "invasion".

In an interview with Le Figaro daily, coming as Turkey considers expanding the offensive, Macron said: "If the operation became more than fighting a potential terrorist threat on the Turkish border and turns out to be an invasion operation, we would have a real problem with that."
