Since the ousting of Bashar al-Assad in December, Turkey has become a key regional ally of Syria\u2019s new government. While it once supported rebels fighting the Assad regime, Ankara now pledges to assist in Syria\u2019s reconstruction and to facilitate the return of millions of refugees\u2014most of whom are currently in Turkey.<\/p>\n

In a written interview with Reuters today (Wednesday), Turkish Defense Minister Ya\u015far G\u00fcler stated that Turkey has begun providing training and advisory support to Syria\u2019s new army and is working to strengthen the country\u2019s defenses. G\u00fcler said the military assistance includes measures to enhance Syria\u2019s defensive capabilities but declined to give specific details.<\/p>\n

Efforts to Avoid Friction with Israel<\/strong>
\nG\u00fcler confirmed that Turkey and Israel are holding technical discussions to establish a deconfliction mechanism in Syrian territory. The goal is to prevent unintended incidents or direct confrontations between their forces. He emphasized that the talks are focused on communication and coordination but should not be seen as a normalization process between the two countries.<\/p>\n

According to G\u00fcler, Turkey currently has no intention of withdrawing or relocating its military forces from Syria. More than 20,000 Turkish soldiers are still deployed across Syrian territory.<\/p>\n

He stressed that Turkey would only consider pulling out if several conditions are met: the achievement of comprehensive peace, the removal of terrorist threats along Turkey\u2019s border, the reinforcement of Syria\u2019s territorial integrity, and the safe return of millions of refugees displaced during the war. G\u00fcler noted that this has been Ankara\u2019s consistent position throughout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
