Jan 2, 2025, 09:19 AM
Turkey's Ministry of National Defense has announced plans to establish strategic defense ties and military cooperation with Syria's new administration. The ministry emphasized that Syria's security is crucial for both Ankara and the broader region. Discussions with Syrian officials are underway to foster cooperation across various sectors, including defense and security, with necessary support to be provided based on a roadmap developed from these talks. The Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) will continue to support the Syrian people during this transitional period within its mandate. The ministry also highlighted ongoing clashes in eastern Syria between the Syrian National Army (SNA) and terrorist groups, including PKK/PYD/YPG/SDG, reaffirming Turkey's commitment to counterterrorism and regional stability. Turkey's approach in Syria is guided by a 'less talk, more action' principle, with a firm stance against the presence of terrorist organizations in the new era of Syrian governance.
