Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan rejected any future role for terrorist groups in Syria during remarks to journalists after his United States visit. He emphasized Turkey's vision for peaceful coexistence among all Syrian communities regardless of their backgrounds. Erdogan cited his meeting with Syrian President Ahmed Sharaa in New York as significant for establishing international legitimacy for the Damascus government.
The Turkish leader warned that Israeli military actions would expand beyond Palestinian territories into neighboring regions. He accused Israel of conducting physical attacks in Syria while attempting to destabilize peace efforts there. Erdogan stressed the importance of lifting international sanctions against Syria to help rebuild its economy and infrastructure systems.
Turkish officials separately accused America and Israel of manipulating Syrian Democratic Forces to block regional security initiatives.
