Turkey Warns of Suspicious Moves Aimed at Dividing Syria
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warned in a televised interview on Friday that Ankara has detected suspicious movements in northern, southern, eastern, and western Syria following clashes between tribes and Druze in the province of Suwayda.
Fidan added, “Turkey has issued warnings about the risk of Syria’s division amid attempts to exploit the situation in Suwayda. We must raise these warnings because we want a united Syria.”
He stated, “The issue of Syria is critical for Turkey’s national security. We have consistently observed that certain parties may seek to benefit from Syria’s fragmentation and instability. They want Syria to remain trapped in a cycle of despair and hopelessness. Israel also pursues this goal. Netanyahu has explicitly stated that he does not view Syria’s stability positively.”
