Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan evaluated the developments in Syria during a live broadcast he attended. Speaking about the clashes between the Syrian army and the terrorist organization PKK/YPG, Fidan said, "Everyone sees and knows that it is an actor that only changes its position when it sees power."
CRITICAL CALL TO YPG
Reminding of the March 10 agreement, Fidan said, "The project itself is quite realistic when you look at it on paper. What is unrealistic is the PKK's lack of willingness to engage in this matter. The path to be taken without resorting to violence is clear; there is a picture that the countries in the region want, there is a picture that the U.S. wants, and these overlap, only Israel's does not.
Really, if they think about the future of the Kurds, they need to remain within qualified, genuine, peace-based solutions that will not further antagonize them with the peoples and states of the region," he added. Fidan also stated, "They should come to the line that should be through dialogue and peace."
WHAT HAD HAPPENED?
In Syria, the terrorist organization YPG had carried out attacks on many points in Aleppo from the regions it occupied since January 6. The Damascus administration had requested YPG to comply with the March 10 Agreement and to end the attacks in Aleppo. Following YPG's continuation of its attacks, the Syrian army had launched pinpoint operations against the positions of the terrorist organization in the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh neighborhoods of Aleppo, which it occupied.
Since January 6, 9 Syrians have lost their lives in the attacks carried out by the terrorist organization, and 55 people, mostly civilians, were injured. The Aleppo City Center Committee announced that the number of those evacuated to safe areas in Aleppo was 142,000.
