We have reaffirmed our commitment to Syria's territorial integrity, sovereignty and security. We also said this immediately after December 8th. An era has ended in Syria, another has begun, but no easier one has begun.

Axar.az reports, citing Anadolu Agency, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated this after chairing an extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers in the Saudi city of Jeddah.

"The challenge is much greater. The problem areas have become much more obvious, and a clearer era has begun. Turkiye's responsibility here is immense."

He noted that Syria also needs significant investment, the development of public capacity and the development of infrastructure.
