France's Macron 'very worried' over Turkey operation in Syria: presidency

French President Emmanuel Macron is very worried at the prospect of a Turkish army operation into areas controlled by Kurdish forces in northern Syria, the presidency said Wednesday.

Macon hosted senior Syrian Kurdish official Ilham Ahmed at the Elysee Palace on Monday "to show that France stands alongside the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) as they are partners in the fight against Daesh (ISIS) and that we are very worried by the possibility of a Turkish operation in Syria," a presidential aide told AFP.
