EU leaders condemn Turkey's military strikes in Syria

A ceasefire brokered between Washington and Ankara to stop military strikes on Kurdish forces in Syria is not a ceasefire. That's what EU Council President Donald Tusk said at the conclusion of an EU leaders' summit in Brussels. He's calling on Turkey to permanently end its military action, immediately.
French President Emmanuel Macron has described military action by fellow NATO-member, Turkey, in northeast Syria as "madness". It has just been confirmed NATO leaders, including Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan, will meet in London on the third and fourth of December. In the meantime, key EU countries have agreed to stop selling arms to Turkey. Like many millions before them, thousands more Syrians are now fleeing the Arab nation.
Members of the public we have spoken to blame Western interference in Syria, led by the United States, for the relentless misery, in pursuit of overthrowing the country's president, Bashar al-Assad.
Many anti-war activists and EU lawmakers have previously made the argument, the best way the international community could help Syria would be, simply, by not entering the country unless invited to do so by the government in Damascus.
