Türkiye opposes efforts to sustain terror groups in Syria
Syrian government officials and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) engage in negotiations over the gradual integration of YPG into a new national structure
DOHA, Qatar (MNTV) – Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said that Türkiye opposes any efforts to maintain the presence of terror groups in Syria.
“We do not accept any attempts that target Syria’s territorial integrity and undermine its sovereignty,” Fidan said at a joint press conference with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in Doha.
His remarks come as Syrian government officials and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) engage in negotiations over the gradual integration of YPG into a new national structure.
“We do not accept any attempts that will continue or ensure the continuation of terrorist organizations in Syria,” Fidan said.
“What is important for us is for Syria to preserve its sovereignty and take its place in the region and the international community as a respected, developed state.”
Fidan also addressed the PKK issue, referencing jailed leader Abdullah Öcalan’s recent call for the terror group to disband and disarm.
“We expect the PKK to respond positively to this call as soon as possible, to lay down its weapons and cease being an obstacle to the return to normalcy in our region,” he said.
We must take charge of our narrative. Research indicates that 92% of their Muslim coverage is negative. Help us change that.
