ANKARA/ISTANBUL (AA) - Türkiye sees defense cooperation with the new Syrian administration as an “important” step in the interest of both countries as well as regional stability, the Turkish National Defense Ministry said on Thursday.

In the ministry’s last weekly press briefing this year, spokesperson Zeki Akturk said bilateral cooperation with Syria is a priority for Türkiye in terms of both national and regional stability.

Both Manbij and Tishrin Dam in Syria are under the control of the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army, and claims of terrorist advances in these areas do not reflect the reality on the ground, he added.
