Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan made a series of statements regarding the situation in Syria during a press conference with his Belgian counterpart. Fidan emphasized that there is no place for terrorist organizations in Syria, urging all foreign fighters, including those from the PKK/YPG, to leave the country immediately. He stated, 'Those who threaten the integrity of Syria must depart.' Additionally, Fidan affirmed Turkey's commitment to support and protect any aggrieved groups, whether majorities or minorities, in Syria, declaring that Turkey will act as their guardian in the new era. He also criticized the idea of supporting the PKK/YPG as a means to manage ISIS detainees, labeling it as unacceptable. Fidan's remarks reflect Turkey's ongoing stance against terrorism and its role in regional stability.
