The US State Department called on Turkey to stop the shelling of the Kurds in Syria, reports RIA News statement by the representative of the Office of Mark Toner.

State Department called on Ankara to stop shelling ATS


“We call on Turkey to stop its artillery strikes along the border,” a spokesman told reporters when asked about Washington’s attitude to artillery strikes against Kurdish positions.

“If the strikes were delivered to the militants of the Islamic State in the area, that would be great,” Toner added.

At the same time, he called the actions of Kurdish militia "counterproductive in the context of the general struggle against the IS", noting that their actions to seize "additional territory cause concern to Turkey and the Arab opposition forces."

According to Toner, the State Department does not have information about Ankara’s intention to send troops to Syria.

"We still do not see that Turkey is planning a ground operation in Syria," he said.

As for the shelling of Syrian hospitals, most likely committed by Russia, so far it is impossible to call them a crime, for this you need an expert opinion.

“There are legal procedures and a process for the recognition of war crimes. I do not have such legal expertise to say whether it was (shelling of hospitals) a war crime, ”said Toner.

"The United States would welcome an investigation into these incidents," he noted.

“We are confident in our estimates that these were Russian strikes,” Toner added.

            Elah-burns, dear mother .... what I hear ... Americans are asking to stop ... strikes ... from the most democratic and just country in the world ... belay

            The Americans did find one of the perpetrators of the war in Syria? That, okay ... in less than four years .. request So you see, and to the CA with Qatar reach out, with requests to stop. laughing

            I think the US Department of State and the leadership alone are weak ... For such cases, democracy number one, must impose sanctions on the Erdogan family and his government ... otherwise there is no offset. laughing

        Yes, unfortunately, if this is a kick, then with the left foot, and with the right foot the mattresses kick the Erdogash so that he would continue shelling the Syrian troops and Kurds, two-faced monkeys, which can only be said about them.

      It is strange, but what is counterproductive here - they do not seize Turkish territory, but have full "approvals" from the Syrian authorities to fight ISIS on Syrian territory. Someone has already forgotten that within the framework of international law in this context, such statements are nothing more than interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state. And what is more, the wishes of all the bandits armed with American and Saudi money, even if we call them the opposition, are here.

    In doing so, he called actions of Kurdish militias "counterproductive in the context of a common fight against IS»

    The IS from this becomes even more evil, unpredictable and dangerous, while there is a high probability of his revenge on his western masters, because a rabid dog bites someone whom he sees, he bites.

    no, what kind of people, huh?

    when they themselves bombed the hospital more than a month ago - this is not even discussed, although conclusive evidence was provided, and here there is an unfounded accusation which, from their words, does not need any evidence

    They are "concerned" with Turkish shelling, but immediately accused the Kurds of seizing territories. Both yours and ours.

    First, without the consent of the Syrian government, the hospital was deployed over the territory controlled by ISIS under the signboard "Doctors Without Borders", then they themselves bombed it well at night, and all the "dogs" were hung on the Russians. We did it, you inglorious bastards! Nothing but meanness and lies from "partners" should not be expected. Instead of conscience, there has long been money ...
