Erdogan discusses latest developments in Syria with al-Sharaa, Turkey says
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed the latest developments in Syria with his Syrian counterpart Ahmed al-Sharaa in a phone call on Sunday, Erdogan’s office said.
In the call, which took place after Syria and the main Kurdish fighting force struck a wide ranging deal to bring Kurdish civilian and military authorities under central government control, Erdogan told al-Sharaa that Ankara’s support for Damascus, particularly in the fight against terrorism, will continue, the Turkish presidency said in a statement.
Erdogan also told al-Sharaa that “the complete elimination of terrorism from Syrian territory is necessary for both Syria and the entire region,” according to the Turkish presidency.
