Erdoğan says Türkiye in close dialogue with Syria’s de facto leader (UK)

Türkiye is in close dialogue with Syria's de facto leader Ahmed alSharaa, Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan said on Monday, adding visits to Syria will increase from now on.

Speaking after a cabinet meeting in Ankara, Erdoğan said Türkiye would provide the Syrian people with all the support they needed to consolidate their gains.

"In the future of Syria and our region, there is no place for any terrorist organisation, including Daesh and the PKK," he said, adding Türkiye's unwavering line is to protect Syria's territorial integrity and unity under all circumstances.
