Bratislava-Sana

Slovak Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini announced his country's intention to stop granting licenses for arms exports to the Turkish regime following the aggression he launched on Syrian territory.

Pellegrini said in a statement today that Slovakia shares the European Union's position on the Turkish aggression on Syrian territory, pointing out that the practices of the Turkish regime disturb the stability in the whole region and cause the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in northern Syria.

Pellegrini explained that the arms embargo to Turkey would include all new contracts and that the decision is in line with the European Union recommendation in this regard.

In the Czech Republic, the Presidency of the "Stan Movement" represented in the Czech House of Representatives condemned the continuation of the Turkish aggression against Syria, stressing that it represents a flagrant violation of international law.

She expressed support for economic and military steps against the Turkish regime, calling on Czech deputies in the European Parliament to stop membership negotiations between the European Union and Turkey.

For his part, the President of the Czech Parliamentary Group for Friendship with Syria, Dr. Stanislav Grosbic, stressed the need for solidarity with the Syrian people who face imperialist and extremist forces and the abolition of unilateral coercive sanctions imposed on Syria and contribute to the stability of the situation in Syria.

The head of the Pirate Party, represented by Parliament Ivan Bartosch, said he intends to continue organizing demonstrations against the Turkish aggression against Syria, pointing out that the first event was organized yesterday evening in the Palacky Square in Prague.

Other demonstrations against the Turkish aggression on Syrian soil will be held in the cities of Yelava, يstí nad Labem, بوeské Budديjovice, Liberec, Karlovy Vivari and Besik.

The Turkish regime has launched aggression against a number of towns, villages and towns in the countryside of Al-Hasakah and Raqqa, which led to the death and injury of hundreds of civilians, including children, women and workers in the service sectors, and significant material damage in service facilities and important infrastructure such as dams, power plants and water.
