In a recent statement, Türkiye has voiced strong opposition to Israeli airstrikes in southern Syria, accusing these actions of infringing on Syria’s sovereignty and posing a threat to the stability of the region. The Turkish Foreign Ministry highlighted that the strikes in the areas of Quneitra and Daraa are violations of Syria’s territorial integrity and international law, specifically breaching the terms of the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement.
Ankara has expressed concern that such military actions could further deteriorate humanitarian conditions in Syria, endangering civilian lives and potentially derailing ongoing efforts to restore peace and stability in the war-torn country. Türkiye has called upon the international community to take a stand, urging nations to collaborate in preventing further escalations that might increase tensions across the region.
Burhanettin Duran, Türkiye’s Communications Director, also condemned the strikes, emphasizing that they pose a threat to Syria’s security and hinder progress toward achieving long-term peace. In his remarks, Duran underscored the necessity of respecting Syrian sovereignty as a cornerstone for regional peace and security.
Türkiye remains committed to supporting the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Syria, which it considers crucial for maintaining regional security. Turkish officials have reiterated their call for global cooperation in addressing these issues, stressing the importance of concerted efforts to prevent future conflicts and ensure the stability of the Middle East.
