NEWS CENTER - 70 deputies from the United Kingdom demanded the end of the Turkish state invasion attacks in North-East Syria. The statement said Erdogan plans ethnic cleansing against the Kurds and used mercenaries groups in the attacks.

In their letter to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Dominic Raab, the 70 deputies write: We urge you to intervene and to outline the steps being taken by the UK Government to halt this assault and what diplomatic measures are being taken with both the United States and Turkey to revise their current policies which are causing the destabilisation of the region."

The letter added: "It is our hope as MPs to see an end to violence in Syria. Attacks on the Kurdish population will not assist in achieving peace in Syria."
