Australian Parliamentarian refers to Cyprus in speech for resolution over Turkey’s actions in Syria

Australian Parliamentarian Steve Georganas has referred to Cyprus in an address before the Parliament, on a resolution he tabled calling on the country’s government to urge Turkey to cease its unilateral military operations in Syria and to support international efforts to hold Τurkey to account for its actions.
 
In his address, Georganas recalled that the Kurdish forces played a vital role in the defeat and capture of Islamic State terrorists.
 
“The Turkish military action in north-eastern Syria has jeopardised that hard-fought and very fragile victory over Islamic State, and there are reports that 12,000 captured Islamic State terrorists and supporters have been freed as a direct consequence of this Turkish invasion,” he noted.
