[Manvisi (Syria) / London / Moscow 15th Reuters]-Turkey continued the attack on the 15th despite President Trump's request to immediately stop the attack on Kurdish powers in northern Syria. While attacks by Turkey continue, movements such as the withdrawal of the US military and the Syrian army supported by Russia put Manbizi, a military strategic point, under influence.
Syrian troops receiving Russian support quickly flow into the blank area after the withdrawal of US troops. Russian interfax news reported that the Syrian army had placed an area of about 1000 square kilometers around Mambuzi in the northeast as information of the Russian Ministry of Defense. In addition, the Syrian army has taken control of Tabka Air Force Base, two hydroelectric power generation facilities and a bridge over the Euphrates River.
Under these circumstances, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary-General Stoltenberg met with British Prime Minister Johnson in London where he visited, and expressed that the Kurdish power attack by Turkey should end. British Prime Minister spokesman said in a statement that “Prime Minister Johnson and Secretary-General Stoltenberg expressed deep concern about the situation in northern Syria” and expressed gratitude for Turkey's response to the Syrian refugee issue as a NATO member “The ongoing operation needs to be terminated,” he said.
President Trump announced economic sanctions against Turkey invading Syria on the 14th. On the same day, a telephone conference with Turkish President Erdogan called for an immediate stop of the military invasion of northern Syria. However, it was perceived that US sanctions were not as strict as expected, and Turkish lira rose against the dollar in the foreign exchange market.
