Jordan calls on Turkey to stop attack on Syria

AMMAN, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Jordan on Thursday called on Turkey to stop its offensive against Syria.

"We urge Turkey to stop attack on Syria and solve all issues through dialogue within international law," Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said in a tweet.

"We condemn all actions that infringe on Syria's sovereignty. Political solution that preserves unity of Syria, ensures rights of Syrians and defeats terrorism guarantees security of all," said Safadi.

A day earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that Turkey launched Operation Spring of Peace into northern Syria.

The Turkish forces hit targets in the town of Ras al-Ayn across the Turkish border in the Kurdish-controlled part of northern Syria, local media reported.
