Syria’s interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa conducted his second overseas meeting as leader when he met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara on Tuesday. The leaders examined vital topics about Syria’s geographic stability and security partnerships as well as economic rebuilding initiatives.
Al-Sharaa demanded international communities to prompt Israel to leave the buffer zone in southern Syria while demanding implementation of the 1974 agreement. During the joint press conference he mentioned the threats which endanger the integration of Syrian territory in northeastern Syria.
During these talks Turkiye established its essential position as an important partner to Syria’s new government. During their meeting Erdogan declared that Turkiye stands prepared to help Syria fight both Daesh and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorist groups. Erdogan made clear that Turkey stands prepared to deliver required assistance to Syria for assuring national safety in their countries and throughout their regional borders.
The collaboration between the parties regarding economic matters emerged as a major concern during their discussions. Al-Sharaa explained to media how his government would advance economic exchanges to help Syria rebuild after the war. The nation that aided Syrian opposition factions in their fight against Bashar al-Assad’s government now moves to implement joint policies for Syria’s future development.
The leader of the insurgency Al-Sharaa demonstrated his support towards Saudi Arabia during his visit before leading the December uprising that deposed Assad. By traveling to Turkiye the visiting leader seeks to gain regional support for his government as he continues dealing with Kurdish-Syrian forces.
The substantial number of Syrian refugees hosted by Turkiye led the leaders to recognize permanent solutions as they moved toward strategic partnership after several years of warfare.
