PKK/YPG terrorists pose 'serious' threat to Syria's territorial integrity, regional security, Türkiye will not allow them to exploit instability in region, says Defense Ministry
Türkiye adheres to agreements it made in operation areas in northern Syria and expects others to do the same, the National Defense Ministry said on Thursday.
Reaffirming support for Syria's territorial integrity, the ministry warned that PKK/YPG terrorists pose a "serious” threat to regional security and Syria's unity.
Türkiye will not allow terrorist groups to exploit the instability in the region, it added, underlining Ankara's "clear" position on the fight against terrorism.
The ministry said Türkiye closely monitors developments, including opposition activities in the Aleppo region.
"These issues reflect unresolved internal dynamics in Syria, stemming from the regime's failure to address opposition demands," it said.
Türkiye has prioritized stability in the region through necessary measures and ongoing cooperation with local stakeholders, the ministry added.
