(MENAFN) Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Chavausoglu voiced the country's deep denouncement to a plan the United States is sketching to identify Golan Heights as part of Israel.
Territorial integrity, the Turkish foreign minister emphasized, is considered as an essential standard in international law.
Chavausoglu stressed "attempts by the United States to legitimize Israel's actions against international law will only lead to more violence in the region."
It comes after Trump tweeted: "after 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel's Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!"
