Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has criticized President Donald Trump’s tweet with respect to the need for the US to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over Golan Heights, Anadolu news agency reported.

“The territorial integrity of states is the most fundamental principle of international law,” Çavuşoğlu wrote on Twitter. “Attempts by the US to legitimize Israel’s actions against international law will only lead to more violence and pain in the region. Turkey supports Syria’s territorial integrity.”
