Turkey's Embassy in Damascus to Reopen on December 14 After 12-Year Closure, Led by Hakan Fidan and Burhan Koroglu
Dec 14, 2024, 12:30 PM
Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced the reopening of the Turkish Embassy in Damascus, Syria, set to commence operations on Saturday, December 14, 2024. This marks the first time the embassy has been active since its closure in 2012, coinciding with the onset of the Syrian civil war. The reopening follows significant political changes in Syria, including the recent ousting of President Bashar al-Assad by opposition forces. Fidan stated that the diplomatic mission would be led by Burhan Koroglu, who has been appointed as the Charge d'Affaires. The Turkish flag was raised at the embassy, symbolizing the resumption of diplomatic relations after a prolonged hiatus. The embassy's reopening is seen as a pivotal step in Turkey's diplomatic engagement with Syria in the post-Assad era.
