Syria must never be divided again and Türkiye will act against anyone seeking to compromise its territory, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Tuesday.
“From now on, we cannot allow Syria to be divided again… Any attack on the freedom of the Syrian people, the stability of the new administration, and the integrity of its lands will find us standing against it,” he said.
Erdoğan laid out the following keynotes in his speech:
“It is our belief, prayer that after 61 years of ‘Baathist dictatorship which was literally pitch black for last 13 years,’ Syria reached bright days.
Türkiye cannot allow Syria to be divided once again, we can never allow Syrian territory to become a conflict zone again.
The people of Syria crowned noble uprising with victory, breaking free from decades of a tyrannical regime and claiming their freedom, rights, law and future.
Daesh/ISIS and PKK/PYD terrorists in other parts of Syria will ‘hopefully’ be crushed as soon as possible.”
