No Turkish military delegation was present at Syria's Abu al-Duhur Airbase before or during a recent Israeli attack on the facility.
Axar.az reports, citing Anadolu Agency, that Turkiye's National Defense Ministry said this in response to reporters' questions following its weekly press briefing aboard the TCG Kochisar in the northwestern province of Kocaeli as part of TEKNOFEST Blue Homeland.
"We confirm that no Turkish military delegation was present at Syria's Abu al-Duhur Airbase before or during the Israeli attack," the ministry said.
The ministry described the Israeli attack on the military airbase as "an act aimed at harming Syria's stability, security, unity and integrity, as well as its infrastructure."
"We emphasize at every opportunity that attacks violating Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity are unacceptable," it said.
"For the peace and stability of both Syria and the region, it is essential that Israel end such reckless attacks and fulfill its obligations under international law," the ministry added.
It should be noted that the Israeli Air Force carried out strikes on the Abu al-Duhur military airbase in Syria’s Idlib province.
Turkish media had reported that Turkish troops would be deployed at the Abu al-Duhur airbase targeted by Israel.
