US EditionTurkey Warns Kurdish and Other Groups in Syria Against Pursuing Autonomy
SOUTHERN SYRIA, SUWAYDA PROVINCE, JUL 22 – Turkey's Foreign Minister warns that any move toward Syrian division threatens national security and signals possible intervention to counter Israel's destabilization efforts.
- On Tuesday, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warned Kurdish and other groups against pursuing autonomy in Syria, threatening intervention if division occurs.
- Fidan's warning came after rising tensions and violent confrontations on July 13 in Suwayda involving Bedouin Arab groups and Druze militias, an escalation that led to Israeli airstrikes targeting southern Syria.
- Turkey accused Israel of seeking to destabilize Syria and weaken the region by exploiting unrest and urged all groups to commit to national unity instead of fragmentation.
- Fidan warned that while diplomatic discussions are welcome, any attempts to divide or destabilize Syria will be viewed as a direct threat to national security and prompt intervention; however, he expressed readiness to support efforts provided they do not involve pushing for division.
- The Syrian government announced multiple ceasefire deals in Suwayda as Turkey reaffirmed its support for Syria’s interim government and diplomatic efforts to restore nationwide stability.
