Iranian regime warns Turkish regime over military presence in Syria.
warned the government of Turkey against possible military intervention
in Syria as ISIL Takfiri terrorists close in on the Syrian town of
Kobani near the Arab country’s border with Turkey.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African affairs Hossein
Amir-Abdollahian said on Thursday that Tehran and Turkey are in
consultation over the situation in the Kurdish city, noting that the
Islamic Republic has warned Turkey against ground operations in Syria.
He added that negotiations over the situation in Syria are going on
with Tehran and Ankara trying to find a solution to the crisis in
Kobani.
“During our preliminary consultations with Turkey, we have found out
that this country does not seek escalation of crisis in the region and
we hope it would play a positive role in this regard,” the Iranian
deputy foreign minister added.
The Iranian diplomat stated that Iran and Turkey are in dialogue over
Syria and Iran believes that Turkey can play an effective role in
facilitating the return of displaced Syrians to their homeland.
Explaining about Iran's solution for the ongoing crisis in Kobani,
Amir-Abdollahian said, “Regional talks are underway over this issue and
we hope a serious measure is taken in this regard.”
“The Islamic Republic of Iran will take any necessary action to help
the Kurds in Kobani in line with its support for the Syrian government
in its fight against terrorism,” added Amir-Abdollahian.
Kobani and its surroundings have been under attack since
mid-September, with ISIL militants capturing dozens of nearby Kurdish
villages. The weeks-long intense battle for the strategic town has
forced nearly 200,000 people to take refuge in Turkey.
On October 2, Turkish lawmakers passed a controversial motion
authorizing the government to carry out military operations against ISIL
Takfiri terrorists in Syria and Iraq.
The parliament’s decision came days after the Turkish government
stationed some 15 tanks that took position in the border town of
Mursitpinar situated northwest of the Syrian border town of Ain al-Arab,
known as Kobani to Kurds.
In a telephone conversation with his Turkish counterpart, Mevlut
Cavusoglu, on October 2, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif
referred to the Turkish parliament’s decision to authorize military
operations in Iraq and Syria, expressing concern about any measure that
could further complicate the situation in the region.
