ADEN, Yemen, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Yemen's government condemned on Thursday the Turkish military operation in Kurdish-controlled areas in northern Syria.
Yemeni Foreign Ministry said in a statement that "the Turkish military operations violate the sovereignty of the brotherly Syria and pose a threat to the region's security in addition to violating the international law."
"The escalation undermines the peace efforts and hinders the political process taking place among the Syrian parties," the statement added.
It said that the Turkish operation affects the Arab and international efforts aimed at combating the terrorist organizations.
The Foreign Ministry affirmed Yemen's support to the emergency call for holding an extraordinary meeting by the Arab League on Oct. 12 in Egypt's capital of Cairo.
On Wednesday, Turkey launched a broad offensive against Kurdish-led militia in northeastern Syria after the U.S. troops pulled back from the area.
