Türkiye reaffirms commitment to Syria's territorial integrity

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan emphasized Türkiye's commitment to regional peace and stability during his address at the AK Party Gaziantep 8th Ordinary Provincial Congress.
He reiterated that Türkiye has no territorial ambitions, stating: "Türkiye does not have eyes even on a pebble of any country."
Erdoğan expressed hope for peace and tranquility in neighboring Syria, which has been elusive for 13 years. He highlighted the recent increase in attacks on civilians in Idlib as a critical trigger for the latest incidents.
The President underscored Türkiye's inability to ignore developments in Syria, with which it shares a 910-kilometer (565-mile) border. He stressed that Syria belongs to Syrians, encompassing all its ethnic, sectarian, and religious components. Erdoğan warned against any moves by separatist terrorist organizations that could jeopardize Türkiye's national security.
Erdoğan expressed a vision for a peaceful Syria where different identities coexist harmoniously and called for international support for Syria's territorial integrity. He emphasized that Syria has endured enough wars and that its people deserve freedom, security, and peace.
Addressing the refugee situation, Erdoğan noted that Türkiye hosts the largest number of Syrian refugees globally. He asserted that history would recognize Türkiye's humanitarian efforts despite contrary propaganda. (ILKHA)
