Türkiye hopes truce deal with Kurds to advance stability in Syria 

Türkiye expressed hope that the Ceasefire and Full Integration Agreement in Syria will effectively and swiftly advance efforts for stability based on the country’s territorial integrity and unity.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry said it expects the deal to contribute not only to the Syrian people but also to the security and peace of the wider region, particularly Syria’s neighboring countries.

The ministry noted that the new period that began in Syria on Dec. 8, 2024, seen as an exceptional opportunity for the country to achieve a prosperous future, has reached a critical stage as of today.

It underlined the importance of recognizing realities on the ground and voiced hope that all groups and individuals in Syria now fully understand that the country’s future lies not in terrorism and division but in unity, cohesion and integration.

Türkiye will continue to support the Syrian government’s counterterrorism efforts carried out with an inclusive and unifying approach based on the consent of the people, as well as its work toward the reconstruction of the country, the statement added.
