The Press and Public Relations Advisor of the Ministry of National Defense (MSB) and the Ministry Spokesperson Rear Admiral Zeki Aktürk spoke at the weekly press briefing held at the ministry.
"TURKEY WILL SUPPORT ANY MEASURES TO BE TAKEN BY THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT"
Rear Admiral Zeki Aktürk, in response to questions about the recent situation in Syria, stated:
"Turkey believes that Syria will achieve stability with a central governance model that protects its territorial integrity and sovereignty and does not allow divisive elements. The Syrian government continues its efforts with the intention of approaching every ethnic and sectarian group in the country equally. The stability of Syria is directly linked to Turkey's security, and every step taken in this direction contributes to regional peace. Within the framework of the 'Joint Training and Consultancy Memorandum' signed with Syria on August 13, 2025, training and consultancy activities aimed at increasing the capacity of the Syrian Armed Forces continue. In this context, Turkey will provide the necessary support regarding the training centers planned to be established in line with Syria's requests. Turkey will support any measures to be taken by the Syrian government to maintain its unity and integrity."
YPG HAS STARTED DIGGING TUNNELS
The terrorist organization YPG has begun new preparations against a possible military operation by the Syrian Army. The organization, which does not comply with the March 10 Agreement, has accelerated tunnel excavations in many areas, especially in Raqqa and Tabqa, east of the Euphrates.
In the last two months, increased activities have led to the detection of numerous tunnel entrances, especially in parks and gardens within the city. According to open sources and satellite images, the organization members have dug 14 new tunnel entrances in Raqqa alone. It has been reported that 8 of these are located around the stadium and in parks and gardens.
EXCAVATION WORK WITH US VEHICLES
It has been noted that the YPG is using vehicles provided by the US to transport supplies to the contact lines and is increasing fortifications and positions in strategic areas. Local sources claim that the Syrian Army is preparing for operations against YPG areas.
TUNNEL UNDER THE HOSPITAL
According to information obtained by Sabah, it has been determined that the organization has also dug a tunnel under a hospital in Raqqa. Photos taken by the local population clearly show the entrances dug around the hospital. It is stated that the tunnel may also be accessible from inside the hospital.
THEY ARE HIDING WITH TARPAULINS
Images have reflected that organization members are trying to conceal their tunnel excavations with tarpaulins and tents. Field sources estimate that the length of the dug tunnel networks has reached dozens of kilometers.
ERDOĞAN'S MESSAGE CAUGHT ATTENTION
In his speech at the 954th Anniversary Celebration Program of the Malazgirt Victory, President Erdoğan stated, "Turkey is the guarantor of the security of the Kurds in Syria as well. Those who turn their direction to Ankara and Damascus will win. Those who lose their direction will lose. If the sword comes out of its sheath, there will be no place left for pen and word."
