At the conclusion of a two-day meeting in Brussels that largely focused on Brexit, leaders took a hard line on the ongoing operation in Syria. Macron also said western countries and NATO, which Turkey belongs to, have handled the crisis badly, with their Kurdish allies being abandoned.

After agreeing on terms for a new Brexit deal, European Union leaders are meeting again to discuss other thorny issues including the bloc's budget and climate change.
"I consider that what has been going on for several days in the region is a serious mistake by the West and NATO," Macron said at the end of the summit. "It is important to get together and coordinate between the three Europeans and Turkey," he said."We must try to see where Turkey wants to go, and how to bring it back to more reasonable positions.EU Council President Donald Tusk said the"so-called" Syria ceasefire is"a demand capitulation of the Kurds" and called on Turkey to immediately halt its operation in northern Syria.
In its written conclusions, the Council said the unilateral Turkish action is undermining the fight against ISIS, therefore threatening European security. Macron said French members of the IS group who might go through Turkey on their way to France would be arrested and sent for trial in France, according to a cooperation agreement between France and Turkey.
