Turkish official: No place for any separatist entity in northern Syria, and President Al-Shara' deals wisely with Israeli provocations

Ambassador Musa Kulak Kaya, Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister, stressed that his country will not accept any attempt to establish a separatist entity in northern Syria, affirming that preserving the unity of Syrian territories and extending state control over all its lands is a strategic priority for Turkey.

Kaya indicated in statements that the Syrian government, led by President Al-Shara', is dealing wisely with Israeli provocations, and is working to protect internal security and achieve political stability, explaining that Turkey supports Damascus' efforts to resolve security problems, enhance national cohesion, and follow up on the transfer of ISIS prisoners and the application of cultural rights for minorities, including considering "Nowruz" a national holiday.

Regarding the "SDF" forces, the Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister affirmed that Turkey warns against the entry of "PKK" elements into Syrian territory, and calls on all parties to preserve territorial unity and prevent any attempt to establish an independent administration in the north of the country.

He explained that Turkish cooperation with the Syrian government includes the exchange of information and intelligence data to ensure state stability and the reintegration of all components under the umbrella of the government.

Kaya also stressed the importance of all parties adhering to existing agreements and the ceasefire, affirming that any failure in de-escalation will negatively affect civilians and infrastructure, and that the only solution to the crisis lies in the total integration between the different Syrian parties.

Regarding developments in the Gaza Strip, Kaya explained that Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt are making strenuous efforts to stop the bloodshed, affirming that the first phase of the Gaza agreement did not achieve the desired results due to repeated Israeli violations and obstruction of humanitarian aid delivery.

He affirmed that the second phase, which includes reconstruction and the formation of a committee of "technocrats," aims to achieve sustainable peace and secure long-term stability for Palestinians, and that Turkey is ready to join any international peacekeeping force militarily if invited.

Regarding regional tensions, the Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister indicated that Turkey is closely following the Iranian file, calling on all parties to dialogue and de-escalation, affirming that any attempt to change the regime or interfere in Iran's internal affairs will not achieve any results, and that political solutions are the optimal way to ensure stability.

Kaya also stressed the importance of the Turkish role in confronting Israeli threats in the region, affirming that Turkey supports initiatives aimed at achieving sustainable peace, and that cooperation with Islamic and Arab countries in this regard is positive and necessary, but he pointed out that there is no tangible military alliance yet, considering that any steps must be taken within the framework of international agreements and policies consistent with international law.
