Turkey Reopens Damascus Embassy on Saturday, Aims to Address YPG Threat
Dec 13, 2024, 07:21 PM
Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced that the Turkish Embassy in Damascus will reopen on Saturday, December 14, 2024, marking the first time since 2012 that the embassy will resume operations. This decision follows a period of strained relations due to the Syrian civil war. Fidan emphasized Turkey's desire for a Syria free of terrorism and inclusive governance. He also mentioned that the number of Syrians in Turkey returning to their homeland is expected to increase as stability returns to Syria. The move to reopen the embassy is part of Turkey's broader strategy to engage with the new Syrian government and address issues like terrorism and the presence of the YPG, which Turkey considers a strategic threat.
