Istanbul, SANA-Any attempts to divide or destabilize Syria, Turkey will consider it a direct threat to its national security, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Tuesday.
“Israel pursues a policy aimed at weakening its region and keeping it in chaos, Israel does not want to see a stable country in its region, aims to divide Syria,” Fidan said at a joint news conference with his Salvadoran counterpart, Alexandra Hill, in the capital, Ankara.
He said Ankara has been closely monitoring the developments in southern Syria, which erupted following Israel’s intervention.
Over the last seven months, the US, European nations, and regional countries have taken a constructive approach to supporting the Syrian people, he added.
Fidan underlined that Turkey has long been making intensive efforts to end conflicts and wars in the region.
He noted that Turkey is among the countries most affected by regional instability, particularly in terms of terrorism and security threats.
“Despite this, while continuing our struggle, we aim to promote stability and goodwill as part of a broader strategic vision,” he emphasized.
