to forgo any unilateral military action in Syria, where Ankara has threatened a fresh offensive against a US-backed Kurdish militia.

"The statements of a possible Ottoman Turkish military operation in northeast Syria are a source of concern," Federica Mogherini said in a statement.

"We share the goal of ending violence, defeating terrorism and promoting stability in Syria and the wider region. We expect the Ottoman Turkish authorities therefore to refrain from any unilateral action likely to undermine the efforts of the Counter-ISIS Coalition or to risk further instability in Syria," she said, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS krazed killer group.

said Wednesday that Turkey will launch a new operation in Syria within days against Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) militia, which have Washington’s support but which Ankara considers a terrorist group.

The Pentagon warned Wednesday that any unilateral military action in northern Syria would be "unacceptable".

Mogherini, calling Turkey "a critically important actor in this crisis and in the region", said that "as the fight against ISIS is entering its final stages, all parties must work towards the goal of ensuring its upcoming defeat".
