Turkey declared its commitment to eliminating terrorism beyond national boundaries during a National Security Council session chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The two-hour meeting produced statements rejecting any terrorist presence in neighboring regions while supporting Syrian and Iraqi territorial integrity. Ankara pledged opposition to forces destabilizing either country through separatist activities.
Erdogan told reporters that terrorist groups hold no future role in Syria after meeting Syrian President Ahmed Sharaa at the United Nations General Assembly. The Turkish leader called for lifting international sanctions against Damascus while supporting economic reconstruction efforts. He accused Israel of attacking multiple Middle Eastern nations and undermining Syrian stability through military operations.
The council condemned Israeli actions in Gaza as genocide and urged global accountability measures. Parliamentary Speaker Numan Kurtulmus stated that commission meetings with Abdullah Ocalan remain unscheduled while maintaining balance between Kurdish rights and Turkish national sensitivities. Nationalist Movement Party leader Devlet Bahceli accused Western powers of attempting to establish a second Israel in northeastern Syria.
