"Syrian parliamentarian: We reject map showing state within Turkey
TNA Parliament Bureau / Ankara
A visiting Syrian parliamentarian yesterday dismissed a map distributed by Kurdish opposition Syrians in the U.S. Senate, showing a large part of Turkish territory as a part of a so-called state, saying, 'Syrian and Turkish citizens are brothers and allies.'
Visiting Syrian-Turkish Interparliamentary Friendship Group Chairman Muhammed Hallak's Turkish counterpart Yuksel Cavusoglu, a member of the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party, for his part underlined that the U.S. will not allow the recognition of such a map and said, 'The U.S. is a country that Turkey has been in close cooperation for many years.'"
