Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria's high-level diplomatic, military, and intelligence representatives issued a joint statement following the Syria and Neighboring Countries Meeting held in Amman, the capital of Jordan.
OPEN SUPPORT FOR THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT
In the joint statement released after the meeting, which discussed cooperation in combating terrorism, drug and arms trafficking, ensuring border security, other common challenges in the region, and developments in Syria, support was expressed for the efforts of the Syrian people to rebuild their homeland on the foundations that ensure the country's security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, and protect their rights and security. The statement emphasized that Syria's security and stability are essential for the security and stability of the region, condemning all initiatives and groups targeting Syria's security, sovereignty, and peace. A message of support was given to the government for all measures taken to strengthen public order and protect Syria's stability and the safety of its people.
CALL TO THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL REGARDING ISRAEL
The statement rejected and condemned Israel's aggression against Syrian territory and attempts to interfere in its internal affairs, stating that this is a clear violation of international law and international humanitarian law, an attack on Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and would lead to an escalation that could result in further conflict. Participants called on the international community and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to comply with international law, put an end to Israel's violations, and ensure Israel's withdrawal from the Syrian territories under its occupation. Additionally, they demanded that Israel cease its attacks and comply with the Forces Separation Agreement signed between Syria and Israel in 1974.
OPERATION ROOM IN THE FIGHT AGAINST ISIS
On the other hand, during the joint press conference where Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan made extremely critical statements, Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi emphasized the importance of Syria's security for neighboring countries and stated that they discussed what needs to be done in this regard with neighboring countries and that they agreed on many points. Safadi noted that they agreed to act together in combating the threat posed by ISIS to Syria and the region, expressing that Syria's security and stability are important for neighboring countries.
SECOND MEETING IN TURKEY
Jordan's Foreign Minister Safadi stated that Turkey will host the 2nd Syria and Neighboring Countries Meeting in April. He emphasized that Israel is trying to create a chaotic environment to achieve its goals in the region and contributes to the environments where terrorism thrives, stating, "Any terrorist threat against Turkey is also a threat to us," expressing their common stance against terrorism. Iraq's Foreign Minister Hussein also reported that the meeting focused on the threats posed by ISIS to Syria and neighboring countries. Hussein underscored that the stability of Iraq and Syria is an inseparable whole, stating, "Iraq has suffered greatly from ISIS, and the fight against this organization should be at the regional level, not just in Syria."
