DUSHANBE, February 17, 2016, Asia-Plus -- The United Nations Security Council has expressed its concern at Turkey''s attacks in northern Syria.
“UN Security Council members are concerned with the Turkish attacks on a number of Syrian regions,” Venezuela''s U.N. Ambassador Rafael Ramirez, the current council president, told reporters after the meeting, as cited by TASS .
“All members of the Security Council are agreed to asking for the Turkish to comply with international law,” he added.
Syria sent two letters to the council protesting Turkey''s cross-border shelling and Russia asked for a closed briefing.
The UNSC reportedly also reiterated its commitment to the Munich agreement, expecting that all parties involved in the discussions will work toward a ceasefire to “allow humanitarian access for every place in the Syrian territory.”
When asked if the UNSC discussed the shelling of the hospitals and schools in Northern Syria on Monday which left close to 50 people dead, Ramirez said the Council indeed discussed the issue, but reached “no agreement” or “consensus” because of “different sources” of information on the incidents.
