Ankara: The Turkish Ministry of Defense stated Thursday that the Israeli airstrikes on central Damascus - following attacks on southern Syria - constitute a clear provocation that undermines hopes for peace and stability in the Middle East.
The ministry warned of the potential repercussions of such actions on regional security and stability.
Speaking at a press conference, the ministry's spokesperson, Navy Colonel Zeki Akturk, said that Israel has dragged the region into a state of instability and chaos, stressing the urgent need for Israel to immediately end its aggressive maneuvers, which could have irreparable consequences for the region.
