Speaking to AFP, Türk warned that the region is witnessing “more bombing, destruction, killings, and escalation” and urged the international community to take urgent action to contain the violence and create a path toward peace.
He stressed that world powers must exert clear pressure on the warring parties to step back from escalation and prevent further civilian suffering.
