Egypt supports the right of Kurds to fight Turkish invasion of Syria -Shoukry: Egypt considers the Turkish incursion into northern Syria an occupation and called Kurdish resistance efforts a “legitimate right in self-defense,” Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry told the Syrian Democratic Council ahead of an emergency Arab League meeting in Cairo yesterday, a ministry statement said. Shoukry also held talks with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Al Safadi and Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, while President Abdel Fattah El Sisi met with Jordanian King Abdullah II on Thursday to discuss the situation, according to an Ittihadiya statement. Arab foreign ministers yesterday called on the UN to halt military support to Turkey and threatened to take “diplomatic, economic, investment, cultural measures… to confront the Turkish aggression,” according to a communique seen by the Associated Press.
