Ankara, Jan.27 (SANA) Syria is entering a new phase of recovery and stability, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Tuesday, welcoming steps to guarantee the rights of Kurdish citizens while urging terrorist groups to abandon separatist agendas and armed structures.
Speaking at a ceremony for the Overseas Contracting Services Success Awards in Ankara, Erdoğan said the Syrian people, exhausted by years of war and destruction, want peace and normalcy.
“Syria will rise again,” he said, adding that Turkey’s support would help accelerate stability and reconstruction across the country.
Ankara has been a major supporter of Syria’s new government, led by President Ahmad al-Sharaa, which has been working to rebuild and bring Syria back to the international arena since the ousting of the former regime in December 2024.
Erdoğan said improved security in Syria would have positive spillover effects across the region, boosting trade, tourism and investment. He pointed to what he described as a coming reconstruction drive focused on rebuilding cities, infrastructure and social services.
