"With its artillery and aircraft, the Turkish army is taking advantage of the media and international community's focus on Mosul to massively attack Syrian Kurds to stop them taking Raqqa," Khalen Issa told a news conference in Paris.
"Turcijas armija ar savu artilēriju un lidmašīnām izmanto to, ka mediji un starptautiskā sabiedrība ir koncentrējušies uz Mosulu, lai veiktu masīvu uzbrukumu kurdiem un nepieļautu, ka viņi ieņem Raku," viņš skaidroja.
