<p>We are closely following developments in Afrin in north-western Syria, and the
Foreign Secretary and other Ministers are in regular contact with their Turkish counterparts.
We have called for de-escalation and the protection of civilians. While recognising
Turkey's legitimate interest in the security of its borders, it remains in our shared
interest to focus on achieving a political settlement that ends the war and suffering,
provides stability for all Syrians and the wider region, and secures the enduring
defeat of Daesh.</p>
