President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reaffirmed Turkey’s continued efforts to support security, peace, and stability in Syria, noting Damascus’s recent restoration of relations with the international community.
Erdogan was quoted by Anadolu Agency as saying, following a meeting of the Turkish cabinet on Monday: “We will continue in the coming period to work toward establishing lasting peace and stability in Syria through dialogue with all active parties in the region.”
He stressed that Turkey seeks security, peace, and stability for everyone in Syria, calling on all parties in the country to work toward a shared vision for the future. He also emphasized the need to disregard dictates or incitements from those who harbor expansionist ambitions in the region.
The Turkish president further underscored Ankara’s firm stance on implementing the March 10 agreement to integrate the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into Syrian state institutions, saying this would “strengthen Syria’s unity, cohesion, and integrity.” He affirmed that Turkey is ready to provide any possible contribution to resolving this issue.
Regarding Gaza, Erdogan stated that Turkey will continue delivering humanitarian assistance by all possible means, despite obstacles imposed by Israel. He stressed that states in the region will not enjoy security as long as the occupation persists and Palestinians continue to suffer ongoing violations.
