Pointing to the recent developments in Syria, Shaibani noted that they faced many challenges after the fall of the Assad regime, but they are fighting against them. Shaibani stated that they do not see the SDF as an enemy, expressing that they are "partners who can work within the framework of national identity."

TURKEY AND THE USA APPROVED
Shaibani said, "The developed approach has been approved by both the USA and Turkey. We are quite confident about this and are extremely satisfied with the implemented policy."

STATEMENT FROM SAUDI ARABIA
Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, spoke at a panel on the Middle East during the 62nd Munich Security Conference. Bin Farhan pointed out that the Syrian administration has a constructive approach towards minorities and ethnic groups in the country, stating, "Syria is in a transitional period and coming out of a very difficult civil war, so some will tend to be more involved while others will tend to observe and wait. I think this is fair; everyone has to make their own decision. The potential of Syria lies primarily in its own people."
Regarding the reconstruction of Syria, bin Farhan said, "I believe that Syria will be rebuilt by its own people. It will not be built by regional countries or international circles. There is a role for all of us to play, and we are contributing as well." Bin Farhan noted that the agreement made with the terrorist organization YPG in Syria is being advanced "in a way that respects the rights of the Kurds," expressing that the progress of the Syrian government will bring success in many areas.
CONFLICT BREEDS CONFLICT
The Saudi Foreign Minister, in response to a question about whether the conflicts in different regions of the Middle East are interconnected, said, "Conflict breeds conflict. Now, when we look at Africa, we see how the situation in Sudan feeds the conflict in Ethiopia and neighboring regions."
