Turkey has taken action for individuals who may be trapped in the Sednaya Prison, which is described as a 'human slaughterhouse' of the overthrown Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria. AFAD has started search operations in the region and the prison with 43 vehicles and 120 personnel. AFAD President Okay Memiş and Turkey's Chargé d'Affaires in Damascus, Burhan Köroğlu, also conducted inspections at Sednaya Prison. "WE WILL TRY TO PROVIDE SUPPORT"Later, speaking to the press, Turkey's Chargé d'Affaires in Damascus, Burhan Köroğlu, stated: "It is a very meaningful visit, and they will carry out a significant activity. The history of the prison is known. Very serious crimes have been committed. Some have been identified, while others have not. The research that AFAD will conduct with its own devices is important. Not only the prison but also comprehensive research will be conducted in the area and around the prison with advanced equipment. We are already following the results as the whole world. Turkey has been working on how to legally punish those who commit these war crimes for a long time, but identification is necessary. In this context, AFAD has mobilized very quickly. Not only for this incident but also for the many areas where Syria needs assistance and support in the future, Turkey will be here with all its institutions. As an embassy, we will also contribute to Syria's recovery and the development of relations." "WE WILL MEET WITH EBU MUHAMMED COLANI"Köroğlu, who mentioned that they have held talks with the temporary Syrian government, said, "Yesterday, we met with the Syrian Foreign Relations Representative. Tomorrow, we will meet with the opposition leader, Prime Minister Ebu Muhammed Colani (Ahmed eş-Şara). Of course, we will meet because we will be working with them. This is a temporary government, as you know. This government has statements about completing constitutional studies in the short term, discussing with its counterparts, and starting the democratic process. In this context, we will also try to provide support to them during this process. Our relations have started, but of course, we want to carry these out calmly. The biggest need is the stability of the country and especially the cessation of foreign attacks. There is no internal conflict in this region. There is no need for any external power to intervene here. In this context, we have started to work with the current legitimate temporary government," he said.
