President Recep Tayyip Erdogan emphasized that clearing Aleppo of terrorist organization YPG elements is an important gain for lasting peace in Syria, saying, "We cannot allow the brotherhood between Turks, Arabs, and Kurds to be broken."
The Turkish president made the remarks at his party's Central Executive Board (MYK) meeting at the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) headquarters on Monday, where he evaluated recent developments in Syria and the Terror-Free Türkiye process, according to sources.
Erdogan stated that all necessary measures have been taken to prevent any situation that would threaten Türkiye's security.
He emphasized that clearing Aleppo of YPG elements is an important gain for establishing lasting peace, tranquility, and security in Syria, noting that despite the maximalist and irrational demands of the terrorist organization's extension in Syria, the Syrian government is acting with an inclusive understanding.
He noted that the continuation of this approach would be in the interest of the Syrian people.
Underlining the importance of neighborly relations, Erdogan said, "We cannot allow the brotherhood between Turks, Arabs, and Kurds to be broken. We must manage this process with sensitivity. We must be careful against provocations."
Erdogan said the recent developments in Aleppo present a historic opportunity for the implementation of the March 10 agreement.
He lastly emphasized that Türkiye is determined to continue its efforts in this direction.
