The dissolution of the YPG (the Syrian branch of the PKK terrorist organization – ed.) will strengthen Kurdish-Arab brotherhood in Syria.
Axar.az reports, citing Turkish media, that Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan made the remarks.
“Our job is to act professionally and verify what this means on the ground. If it is as stated, it is of course a welcome development. It complements all the steps we currently want to take,” he said, adding that Syria’s national unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity must also be preserved.
According to Turkiye’s foreign minister, the YPG has been opposed not only to Syria but also to Turkiye.
"We emphasize that while the identity of Kurds must be protected and there must be no denial of their identity, Syria's national unity, sovereign integrity, and territorial integrity must also be preserved. We want to see this reflected in practice," Fidan added.
“But hopefully, in this new process, we will resolve all these problems through mutual understanding and dialogue. We will resolve them through peace,” he said.
It should be recalled that Mazloum Abdi, commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), announced on August 25 that the armed formations had been disbanded and that Kurdish forces had been fully integrated into the ranks of the Syrian government forces.
