Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that Kurdish militants in Syria must either lay down their arms or face being buried with them. This declaration was made during a news conference following a Cabinet meeting on December 25, 2024. Erdoğan emphasized that there is no place for any terrorist organization, including the PKK and YPG, in the future of Syria and the region. He warned that these groups must either dissolve themselves or be eliminated. The remarks come amid escalating tensions between Turkey-backed Syrian fighters and Kurdish militants, particularly following recent developments in the region following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime.
