— Turkish President Erdoğan on Syria:

"We want Syria to remain unified and integrated, with all of its components and groups, more than anyone else. This is important for sustainable development and for strengthening Syria’s capabilities.

Regarding the dissolution of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), I believe this move could open the door to a new era for the entire region.

Now the chapter of terrorism must be closed, and the era of using weapons and violence must end."
