Erdogan reveals Turkey’s goal, Syria Roadmap, and resource allocation
Erdogan: Syria Roadmap and Resource Allocation to Ensure Stability
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirmed that the “Syria Roadmap” for achieving lasting peace is now clear, noting that Turkey’s position on Syria has remained unchanged since the beginning of the conflict.
He emphasized that Turkey places significant importance on implementing the agreements signed on January 18 and 30, adhering to the principle of “one army, one state” in Syria. Erdogan also stated that the Syrian government will ensure maximum participation of local components in decision-making.
Regional Tours and Strategic Agreements
Erdogan noted that his latest tour included Saudi Arabia and Egypt, during which 13 strategic agreements covering energy, defense, and other sectors were signed. On Friday, he met with King Abdullah II of Jordan to discuss several files of mutual interest. He added that a new regional tour, including the UAE and Ethiopia, will take place in the coming days.
Ankara’s Goal: Stability, Not Influence or Borders
The Turkish president confirmed that Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan share Ankara’s view on Syria’s stability and that there is significant interest from Arab and regional countries in the Syrian issue. He clarified that Turkey does not seek to expand its influence or redraw borders in the region, but aims to strengthen cooperation and brotherhood and establish a shared future with all concerned countries.
Resources for Welfare, Not Tunnels
Erdogan pointed out that Turkish relief institutions have sent aid to Kurdish areas in Syria in coordination with the Syrian government. He highlighted that Syrian communities are increasingly aware of parties acting as tools for external actors. He called for Syria’s resources and wealth to be directed towards the welfare of all its components instead of being exploited in internal conflicts or tunneling under cities, emphasizing the importance of avoiding extremist demands that could hinder the peace process.
