Violence has escalated in recent weeks between Syrian government forces and the US-backed SDF on the front lines in eastern Aleppo
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated on 1 October that Turkiye will not allow Syria's fragmentation if a deal to integrate the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into the Syrian military led by self-appointed President Ahmad al-Sharaa collapses.
“We have engaged all channels of diplomacy, both to preserve Syria's territorial integrity and prevent a terrorist structure from forming across our borders. We continue to use these channels with patience, sincerity, and common sense,” Erdogan explained while giving a speech to mark the Turkish parliament's re-opening.
“If diplomatic initiatives are left unanswered, Turkiye's policy and position are clear. Turkiye will not allow a deja vu to take place in Syria,” he added.
The US-backed SDF controls large swathes of oil-rich territory in north and east Syria, which it administers under the name of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES).
The US-backed SDF was established under US guidance in 2015. It is an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which Ankara considers a terrorist organization.
