"Any action of any type without the approval of Syrian government is an aggression against Syria," Ali Haidar, Minister of National Reconciliation Affairs, told reporters in Damascus.
"There must be cooperation with Syria and coordination with Syria and there must be a Syrian approval of any action whether it is military or not," he said.

- Germany, UK say won't take part in air strikes against ISIS/ISIL in Syria
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told a news conference in Berlin that Germany has not been asked to take part in the air strikes and would not be participating. "To quite clear, we have not been asked to do so and neither will we do so," Steinmeier said.
His British counterpart Philip Hammond said Britain "supports entirely the US approach of developing an international coalition" against the Islamic State, whom he described as "barbaric", and said that in terms of how to help such a coalition "we have ruled nothing out".

Turkey: We Won’t Allow US to Attack ISIL from Our Airbases...
ReplyDelete"Turkey will not be involved in any armed operation but will entirely concentrate on humanitarian operations," the official said on condition of anonymity.
"Incirlik will be used only for logistical purposes and humanitarian assistance", the source, referring to a southern air base used for US and NATO operations in Iraq.
Turkey has come under fire by some critics for indirectly encouraging the formation of ISIL because of its support of extremists militants fighting the Syrian government.
But Ankara vehemently denies its strategy has backfired.
US Secretary of State John Kerry was holding talks in Saudi Arabia on Thursday to drum up support from 10 key Arab nations and Turkey, following President Barack Obama's announcement of a new strategy against ISIL that will include now air strikes in Syria.
Turkey now sees itself a victim of the ISIL with Takfiri militants holding 49 Turks hostage, including diplomats and children, abducted from the Turkish consulate in Mosul in Iraq on June 11.
"Our hands and arms are tied because of the hostages," the official told AFP.
"Turkey will not take part in any combat mission, nor supply weapons."
Though Turkey will refuse use of Incirlik Air Base for lethal air attacks in any US-led operation, it can be used for logistical and humanitarian operations, the official said.
