Damascus, February 15 (RHC)-- Turkey has shelled Kurdish regions in northern Syria for the third consecutive day, saying it will not allow Kurds to take control of the Syrian border town of A’zaz.

Despite international outcries, Turkish forces shelled a road to the twon of Tal Rif'at as well as a region near A’zaz.  Turkey had targeted the same areas over the weekend.

Syria on Sunday condemned the Turkish attacks, and took the case to the UN Security Council.  Turkey claims that Syrian Kurdish forces were advancing under the support of the Russian air force.  The Russian Foreign Ministry has also condemned Turkish attacks as “provocative.”

The Russian ministry also expressed Moscow’s “serious concern” about what it calls Ankara’s aggressive actions against Syria.
