UN Security Council to meet Wednesday on Turkish Syria assault: diplomats

Explore Business Standard

The UN Security Council will convene again Wednesday to discuss Turkey's military incursion in northeast Syria, diplomats said.
This session was requested by European countries with seats on the 15-member council, the diplomats said Tuesday.
At a first meeting last Thursday, the council was divided, and only the European members issued a statement calling for an end to the Turkish offensive.
On Friday, Russia and China blocked a US-sponsored text that also called for and end to the Turkish assault.
