NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expects that the idea of the Minister of Defense of Germany on the international security zone in Syria will be discussed at ministerial negotiations in Brussels on Thursday and Friday.
Earlier, German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer announced that she would offer NATO to create a security zone in Syria on the border with Turkey. According to the minister, the situation in Syria negatively affects the interests of Europe and, in particular, the FRG with regard to security. She believes that so far the actions of Berlin and Brussels have been too passive, therefore, “the impulse and political initiative of Germany make sense”.
“I expect that the Minister of Defense will share his proposals with all the allies, we will discuss this at a meeting”, – the secretary general told reporters.
Stoltenberg also said that he recently spoke with Kramp-Karrenbauer, who already shared her ideas on the situation in northern Syria.
