Erdoğan, who was attending a NATO summit in the United States also warned against Israel’s threat to spread its conflict, adding that this attempt runs the risk to drive the region to a larger war.
On possible normalization of ties with Syria, Erdoğan stated that Türkiye desired a prosperous future for its neighbor, “governed by Syrians itself” while highlighting the need to clear Syria out of terrorism, in reference to Türkiye’s counterterrorism efforts in Syria against YPG, Syria wing of PKK.
