On the Meeting of the Syrian Administration with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in Damascus
The Syrian Future Movement welcomes the regional openness towards Syria and supports the new Syrian administration in transitioning the country from its current temporary phase to a comprehensive government.
The Syrian Future Movement views the signs of warm reception between Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Mr. Ahmed Al-Sharaa positively, reflecting the strength of the relationship between the two neighboring countries.
The Syrian Future Movement anticipates the integration of the National Army forces under the new Ministry of Defense, especially after Turkey raised the salaries of the National Army this month, which raises many questions.
The Syrian Future Movement considers the timing of this visit significant, coinciding with a high-level delegation from Saudi Arabia, as well as the visit of Lebanese leader Walid Jumblatt, following visits by U.S. and British delegations to Damascus in the past days. This indicates a fervent international and regional race to support Syrians in achieving a successful transitional phase and restoring Syria’s regional and global standing.
The Syrian Future Movement warns against any conspiracy that could lead to Israel occupying southern Syria or supporting ethnically and sectarian-based separatist movements. It calls for utilizing this phase to bring stability and security to Syria and its surroundings.
The Syrian Future Movement believes it is in Turkey’s interest for the transitional phase in Syria to succeed and for a successful inclusive government to emerge, convincing both Syrians and the international community.
The Syrian Future Movement emphasizes the importance of mutual respect and balance in the relationship between the Syrian Republic and the Turkish Republic, both publicly and privately. This is what the Syrian people expect and hope for from their Turkish neighbor in the near and distant future.
