The opening ceremony of the 28th Term 4th Legislative Year of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey was held. In his speech, President Erdoğan delivered striking messages. One of the most notable points in Erdoğan's statements was the detail about "Syria." President Erdoğan emphasized that they are against all plans that would disrupt Syria's territorial integrity.
ERDOĞAN: WE ARE AGAINST THE PLANS TO DIVIDE SYRIA
In his statement, Erdoğan said: "We will never allow our Kurdish brothers across our borders to be exploited by certain terrorist organizations and by countries and entities that are enemies of Turks, Kurds, Arabs, and Muslims in general. From the very beginning, we have strongly supported Syria's territorial integrity. Today, we are also firmly against the plans to divide Syria.
"WE WILL NOT ALLOW A DEJA VU TO OCCUR IN SYRIA"
In order to ensure Syria's territorial integrity and to prevent any terrorist formation beyond our borders, we have activated all channels of diplomacy. We are using these channels patiently, sincerely, and wisely. If diplomatic initiatives go unanswered, Turkey's position and policy are clear. Turkey will not allow a 'deja vu' to occur in Syria.
"OUR STANCE IS TO FREE OUR REGION FROM THE PLAGUE OF TERROR"
This principled stance is not against the Syrian people, including our Kurdish brothers, but rather in their favor; it is a stance aimed at freeing our region from the plague of terror. I emphasize once again, regardless of ethnic origin, language, or sect, we are all passengers on the road to a common future. When we are united like the bricks of a wall, the troubles in the region will be resolved one by one, and the region will achieve lasting peace and tranquility. However, when we allow brokers to come between us, there will be no shortage of blood, tears, conflict, and oppression in our geography. Just as Turks, Kurds, and Arabs fought shoulder to shoulder in the armies of Sultan Alparslan, Saladin, and Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror to achieve victories, and just as Turks, Kurds, and Arabs heroically defended the Islamic land together in Çanakkale, we believe that tomorrow and forever, the alliance of Turks, Kurds, and Arabs will ensure and strengthen the peace, tranquility, development, and prosperity of the geography together. We believe this with all our hearts."
