ISTANBUL (AA) - Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Wednesday that the post-Assad Syrian administration has no plans involving either a federation or autonomous regions.
Speaking at Anadolu's Editors' Desk in the capital Ankara, Fidan addressed key regional issues, including Syria's stance on terrorism and security cooperation.
Fidan said Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa’s position on the terrorist group PKK/YPG is "extremely clear" and meets Türkiye’s security needs.
He also said Syria would send back or "eliminate" all PKK terrorists who have come from various countries, "to ensure its national unity."
On the fight against terrorism in the region, Fidan announced steps to establish a joint mechanism between Türkiye, Iraq, Syria, and Jordan to combat the terrorist group ISIS (Daesh).
