German Defense Minister: Turkey annexes part of independent Syria
According to the German Minister of Defense, Turkey annexed part of an independent state.
Annegret Kramp-Karrenbaeur:
Kramp-Karrenbauer’s statement about the Turkish annexation of part of Syria’s territory was sharply criticized by the Free Democratic Party of Germany. A spokesman for the liberal FDP, Alexander Lamsdorf, said the German defense minister is spreading false information.
From his post on Twitter:
Lamsdorf noted that the Turks did not annex the north of Syria and "are ready to leave this territory."
Other representatives of German political forces, including the same FDP, noted that Kramp-Karrenbauer allows himself something that should not be allowed in relation to a NATO partner. Apparently, the opponents of Kramp-Karrenbauer were encouraged by the fact that Trump announced the lifting of sanctions previously imposed against Ankara.
