Above On December 7, US and Turkish diplomats spoke over the phone on the most recent events in Syria.
According to a Turkish official, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to Turkey on Friday and meet with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.
The two are anticipated to talk about the state of affairs in Syria following the overthrow of Bashar al Assad by the opposition forces in a lightning strike.
After the Baath Party, which had ruled Syria since 1963, lost control of Damascus early on Sunday, Bashar al Assad, the leader of the country’s regime for almost 25 years, escaped to Russia.
According to officials in the Foreign Ministry, Blinken and Fidan had already spoken over the phone on December 7 and 10 on the most recent events in Syria.
Fidan emphasized the significance of maintaining Syria’s political unity and territorial integrity throughout the calls.
Fidan also emphasized the necessity of foreign assistance to assist the Syrian people in restoring the nation’s long-neglected infrastructure. He also urged ongoing efforts to guarantee the sustained flow of humanitarian aid to Syria.
Dissatisfaction with PKK/YPG backing
Additionally, Fidan declared that Turkey will not permit terrorist organizations to take advantage of the Syrian crisis.
The US’s cooperation with the YPG/PYD, a branch of the PKK, a group that is recognized as a terrorist organization by both the US and Turkey, has long angered Ankara.
Numerous facilities and military installations in the areas that the terrorist group occupies are manned by US soldiers, who nonetheless provide support to the PKK/YPG.
Citing the battle against Daesh as an excuse, Washington regularly deploys reinforcements to its military camps and locations in PKK/YPG terrorist-controlled oil fields.
