Ankara, Dec 18 (SANA) Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has urged the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to honor the March 10 agreement with Damascus that calls for their integration into state institutions, warning that regional patience is wearing thin.
In an interview with TRT World, Fidan accused the SDF of stalling and said Ankara does not wish to resort to military means again, but stressed that commitments must be fulfilled. He noted that Washington also recognizes the importance of the deal for Syria’s unity and stability, while suggesting the SDF may be betting on regional crises or Israeli expansionist policies.
Fidan highlighted Syria’s cooperation in fighting ISIS alongside regional states and the U.S., insisting that no terrorist group should derail Syria’s recovery. He added that Turkey and Syria are capable of confronting the threat effectively.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan echoed the message last week, saying the March 10 agreement would strengthen Syria’s unity and pave the way for peace and prosperity
