ANKARA (AA) - The EU Parliament's Turkey rapporteur on Friday expressed sorrow over Turkish soldiers martyred in an airstrike by the Bashar al-Assad regime forces in Idlib, northwestern Syria late on Thursday.

"Very sorry for the loss of TK soldiers lives and deeply concerned about recent developments around #Turkey #Idlib and #Refugees," Nacho Sanchez Amor said on Twitter.

"EU is far reliable" ally, Amor said, calling on Turkey to abandon what he called “unilateralism".

At least 29 Turkish soldiers were martyred and 36 others injured in an airstrike by the Bashar al-Assad regime in Idlib, northwestern Syria, a Turkish official said late Thursday.
