Turkish President Erdogan met with Syrian transitional leader Ahmad al-Sharaa during the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The leaders discussed implementing the March 10 Agreement between Damascus and the Syrian Democratic Forces. Erdogan pressed al-Sharaa to accelerate Syria's political transition while removing barriers to unification. Turkey supports Syrian territorial integrity and demands full compliance with the established framework.
The March agreement requires integrating Kurdish-led forces into Syrian state structures while protecting minority rights. Syrian Democratic Council representatives denied meeting with al-Sharaa's delegation at the UN gathering. Kurdish officials criticized their exclusion from Syria's official representation team. They argued that a meaningful political settlement requires genuine participation from all Syrian communities rather than continued marginalization.
