Erdogan Vows to Crush ISIS and YPG in Syria Post-Assad, Urges Foreign Withdrawal
Jan 15, 2025, 10:12 AM
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has issued a stern warning to all countries to cease their involvement in Syria, asserting that Turkey possesses the capability to decisively confront and eliminate all terrorist organizations within the country. Speaking at a parliamentary group meeting of his Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Ankara, Erdogan emphasized Turkey's readiness to collaborate with Syrian allies to crush groups such as the Islamic State (ISIS) and the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG). He specifically highlighted the YPG's occupation of nearly one-third of Syrian territory and its exploitation of the nation's natural resources, stating that the group faces an inevitable end if it does not disband and surrender its arms. Erdogan's comments come in the wake of the fall of the Assad regime, with Turkey expressing its commitment to support the new Syrian administration in rebuilding efforts and addressing security concerns.
