This position was announced in a statement issued by the Turkish Foreign Ministry following the signing of a ceasefire and full integration agreement between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

In the statement, Ankara expressed its hope that the agreement “will contribute urgently and effectively to boosting efforts aimed at achieving stability based on the unity and territorial integrity of Syria.”

The statement reaffirmed support for the Syrian government’s efforts in combating terrorism and rebuilding the country, within a “comprehensive and integrated practical approach based on the will of the people.”

Yesterday, Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara announced the signing of a ceasefire agreement and the full integration of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into the government, following a Syrian army operation that recaptured large areas in the east and northeast of the country.

Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a telephone conversation with al-Shara to discuss bilateral relations and recent developments in Syria.

Erdoğan reaffirmed that Türkiye’s support for the unity, territorial integrity, stability, and security of the Arab country will continue to grow, especially in the fight against terrorism, whose complete eradication he deemed essential for Syria and the region.
