Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Syrian's newly appointed President Ahmed Al-Sharaa discussed at a meeting in Ankara, a deepening security of security. The relationship includes response to the Kurdish warrior in Northeast Syria.
Earlier this week, Tuesday's visit marked that Al-Sharaa officially became the second international travel since Syria's interim leader.
Al-Sharaa led Hayat Tahrir Al-SHAM (HTS) rebels to overthrow Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad in a lightning offensive in December.
Erdogan spoke with Al-Sharaa at an ANKARA's press conference. He said that Turkiye is ready to cooperate with Syria's new leadership, especially with the armed group ISIL (ISIL ( ISIS) and Kurdish fighter in northeastern Syria.
"I want to satisfy my brother Ahmed Al-Sharaa in the anti-terrorist struggle," said Erdogan said. "
He added: "I told Al-Sharaa that we are going to provide necessary support for Syria's struggle with various terrorism, whether it is DaESH or PKK."
Turkiye, a border with Syria, believes that several Syrian Kurdish organizations located near the southern boundary are "terrorists". These include Kurdish Workers' Party and People's Protection Units (YPG).
YPG constitutes the Syrian Lord Power (SDF) led by Kurds supported by the United States, which controls a large pile of Syria.
SDF is still a key ally of Syria's fighting with the United States. But since the fall of Al-Assad, Turkish officials have been working more and more to take over the operation.
Sinem Koseoglu of Peninsula TV said in an Ankara report that Al-Sharaa was once again "very warm" by Erdogan because he once again tried to take over the anti-ISIL battle and promised to put pressure on Kurdish Fighters.
"(ERDOGAN) Reasserted Turkiye is ready to help control and manage the control and management of the Syrian democratic forces and YPG YPG (Syrian Kurdish)," Koseoglu said.
"He said, the struggle (the Iriesnia International Trade Commission) and the Kurdish Workers' Party should continue."
Al-Sharaa said his government invited Erdogan's "earliest opportunities" to visit Syria and seek to establish a "strategic partnership" with Turkiye.
These statements emphasized the re -adjustment of the region. After the outbreak of the Syrian civil war, Ankara interrupted in in 2011. Throughout the conflict, Turkiye opposed Al-Assad.
"We are establishing a strategic partnership with Turkiye to facing security threats in the area to ensure the permanent security and stability of Syria and Turkiye," Al-Sharaa.
He added that the two discussed "the threat to prevent unification in northeastern Syria", which is obviously mentioned by the SDF supported by the United States. Al-Sharaa rejected any form of Kurd's own rules and urged SDF to hand over its weapons.
Koseoglu reported that the two leaders also discussed a new defense agreement that was widely reported in recent days. The agreement allows Turkie to establish a new base in Syria and surpass the base along the border of the Turkish.
"In the past few years, the military base established by Turkuye to protect its border with the attack on the Kurdish workers' party and YPG attacks. They were not closed," Costegru said. "But they are talking about new military bases. At present, whereabouts are unknown."
After the meeting, Erdogan promised to continue to urge international sanctions on Syria during the rule of Al-Assad. Al-Sharaa has conducted radical diplomatic promotion in recent weeks, which is the top priority of Al-Sharaa.
Erdogan added that for the Arab and Muslim countries, during the transition period, it provided support for the new Damascus government in terms of transition period.
Regarding the issue of Syrian refugees and immigrants, Erdogan said that as the country becomes more stable, the Syrian voluntary return will accelerate the pace.
After the Syrian civil war broke out in 2011, Turkiye received the most Syrian refugees, with more than 3.8 million at its peak in 2022.
The two also discussed economic links. This is because Turkish transportation and manufacturing companies are increasingly watching Syria's expansion plan.
