EU, Germany condemn Turkish offensive in northern Syria

Germany and the European Union are among many voices speaking out against Turkey's military invasion of northern Syria on Wednesday. World powers are deliberating how to respond.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker called on Turkey to immediately cease the operation and urged restraint from all sides. He cautioned that the European Union would not fund a “safe zone” inside Syria.

Condemnations poured in on Wednesday after Turkish troops began their military offensive on Kurdish forces in northern Syria.
