Turkey, which started its ground military operation in Syria, did not coordinate its actions with the United Nations, the UN chief’s spokesman Stephane Dujarric told journalists.

He described Ankara’s actions as an incursion.

"I would refer you to what I said yesterday [August 24] on the [Turkish] incursion, but there was no coordination with the United Nations, we are not involved in the coordination of military activities by one party or another," Dujarric said.

On Wednesday Dujarric said the United Nations is monitoring the situation in Syria after the start of the Turkish military operation and is calling upon all sides to stick to international norms and protect civilians.
