‘all Forces, Hands Off Syria’: Erdogan Vows To ‘crush’ Isis, Issues Warning To Israel
The president’s statements precede the first official Syrian visit to Turkiye since the fall of Assad’s government
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a speech on 15 January that Turkiye is the “greater power” capable of defeating ISIS terrorism in Syria, while renewing his threats against Kurdish militants and warning Israel of the “results” of its continued expansion across the country.
The speech comes ahead of a visit to Turkiye by a Syrian delegation led by interim Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani and interim Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra. The foreign minister was involved in the founding of Al-Qaeda in Syria, which later became known as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), and the defense minister is accused of several war crimes.
“We will discuss with the Syrian delegation that will visit Turkiye ways to support Syria and rebuild. We will not allow the seeds of discord to be planted between us and the Syrian people,” Erdogan said.
“Israel must immediately end the hostility it is practicing in Syria, otherwise the results that will appear will harm everyone. If the People’s Defense Units (YPG), which is plundering natural resources in Syria, does not lay down its weapons, it will bear the consequences,” the Turkish president added.
“Let all forces withdraw their hands from the region and we will be able, with our Syrian brothers, to crush ISIS and the YPG,” he went on to say, adding that “Turkiye is the greater power that has the ability to defeat ISIS.”
