New York (IINA) – The governments of Saudi Arabia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Qatar and Turkey have demanded Russia to halt its attacks on Syrian opposition and civilians and focus on the fight against the so-called Islamic State (IS), also known as Daesh, Saudi Press Agency reported.
The text of the joint press statement in New York said: "We, the governments of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United States, France, Germany, Qatar, Turkey, and the United Kingdom, express our deep concern over the Russian military build-up in Syria, particularly the air strikes by Russian Air Force since yesterday in Hama, Homs and Idlib, which resulted in casualties among civilians and did not target Daesh".
"These military actions constitute a further escalation that will only fuel extremism and militancy," the statement added.
"We demand the Russian Federation to stop its attacks on the Syrian opposition and civilians immediately, and focus their efforts on the fight against Daesh organization," the statement added.
