President Erdogan signals openness to dialogue with jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan and calls on all parties to contribute to ending decades of Kurdish militant violence

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warned Kurdish forces in northern Syria to “integrate” or face intervention, as Ankara and Damascus edge closer to joint operations against the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan unannounced the visit to Damascus to discuss Kurdish matters. According to official accounts, the talks focused on Turkey’s security concerns stemming from northeastern Syria and on joint counter-terrorism efforts

The clashes come despite a March agreement intended to unify Syria’s fractured military forces. The deal, signed under pressure from both the United States and Turkey, aimed to bring the Kurdish-led SDF under the command of the central government in Damascus

"The separatist murderers will either bid farewell to their weapons, or they will be buried in Syrian lands along with their weapons," the Turkish president said.
