ISTANBUL (AA) - Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Wednesday that given the situation in Syria, no terrorist group should pose a threat to Türkiye or any other country in the region.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Syrian counterpart Asaad al-Shaibani in Ankara, Fidan said: “Under the guise of fighting ISIS, the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces), which pursues a divisive agenda, must abandon this equation.”
The SDF is dominated by the terrorist group YPG, the Syrian branch of the terrorist PKK.
On March 10, the Syrian presidency announced an agreement to integrate the SDF into state institutions, stressing the country’s territorial integrity and rejecting any separatist designs. The group, however, has violated the agreement more than once.
