Türkiye's President Tayyip Erdoğan discussed the latest developments in Syria with his Syrian counterpart Ahmed al-Sharaa in a phone call on Sunday, Erdoğan's office said.
In the call, which took place after Syria and the main Kurdish fighting force struck a wide-ranging deal to bring Kurdish civilian and military authorities under central government control, Erdoğan told Sharaa that Ankara's support for Damascus, particularly in the fight against terrorism, will continue, the Turkish presidency said in a statement.
Erdoğan also told Sharaa that "the complete elimination of terrorism from Syrian territory is necessary for both Syria and the entire region," according to the Turkish presidency.
