Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian voiced concern over Turkey's military intervention in Syria. noting that Tehran was conducting negotiations on this issue.

Amir-Abdollahian also criticized the US occupation of Syria during a joint press conference with his Syrian counterpart Faisal al-Miqdad. "The United States is colonizing the oil wells in Eastern Syria, and Washington must leave this region."

He then went on to chastise Washington's main ally in the region, saying the Israeli occupation did not understand except through forces, "and normalization with it is treason."

Al-Miqdad, on the other hand, said that "everything going on in eastern Syria was against the will of the Syrian people in light of the US confiscating Syria's resources."

"Turkey working on establishing safe zones on Syrian soil will put it in a position of conflict with Damascus," al-Miqdad stressed as Ankara plans to expand its occupation of Syrian territories.

Damascus "opposes any Turkish involvement in Syria's territories to establish safe zones, and we are against the policy of Turkifying Syria and [Ankara's] support of terrorist organizations."

Commenting on the Syrian refugee crisis, he said: "Syria welcomes the return of the refugees, and the Western countries are preventing them from returning to their homeland."
