Türkiye has issued a strong condemnation of recent Israeli airstrikes in southern Syria, asserting that these actions violate Syria’s sovereignty and pose a threat to the stability of the region. The strikes, which targeted areas in Quneitra and Daraa, have been criticized by the Turkish Foreign Ministry for breaching Syria’s territorial integrity as well as international law, including the 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement.
Ankara has expressed concern that such military actions could exacerbate the already dire humanitarian conditions in Syria, endangering civilian lives and hindering efforts to achieve peace and stability. The Turkish government has urged the international community to intervene and take measures to prevent future attacks that could escalate tensions in the Middle East.
Burhanettin Duran, Communications Director for Türkiye, added his voice to the criticism, emphasizing that the Israeli strikes not only threaten Syria’s security but also undermine initiatives aimed at securing long-term peace in the region. He highlighted the detrimental impact these actions could have on broader peace efforts.
Türkiye reiterated its commitment to supporting Syria’s unity and territorial integrity, viewing these as crucial components for ensuring regional security. The Turkish government has made it clear that it stands by Syria’s sovereignty and will continue to advocate for measures that uphold these principles.
In light of these developments, Türkiye has called on other nations to collaborate in efforts to prevent further military escalations that could destabilize the region. Their appeal underscores the need for a collective international response to maintain peace and security in the Middle East.
