In response to a report released by Human Rights Watch, Turkey has rejected allegations that it bears responsibility for abuses and possible war crimes against Kurdish residents in northern Syria. The 74-page report accused Turkish forces and Ankara-backed armed factions of committing abuses in areas they control.
A senior Turkish Foreign Ministry official denied the accusations, stating that the report did not accurately reflect the situation on the ground and ignored Turkey's security concerns. The official emphasized that Turkey upholds international humanitarian law.
