Turkey Aims to Eliminate YPG in Syria Amidst HTS-Led Transition
Dec 13, 2024, 07:42 PM
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has declared the elimination of the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) in Syria as a strategic goal for Ankara. Fidan emphasized that the YPG must either dissolve itself or face elimination, highlighting Turkey's stance against the group, which is considered a terror organization by Turkey, the EU, and the US. He also warned Israel against its 'dangerous strategy' to undermine Syria's new administration, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), and stressed the importance of ensuring the safety of Kurds living in the region during the elimination of YPG. Fidan's comments come amidst a broader context of regional power dynamics, with Turkey coordinating with various stakeholders to support a peaceful transition in Syria.
