Turkey's military operations against Kurdish militants in northern Syria continue unabated, a Turkish Defense Ministry official confirmed. The operations, which included actions on Tuesday, persist despite a recent agreement between the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the new government in Damascus. The official did not specify the locations of these ongoing operations. The agreement between the SDF and the Syrian government aims to integrate Kurdish-led areas into a unified Syria. Turkey views the SDF as an extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and has been conducting cross-border incursions against them. Over the past week, Turkey reported that its forces killed 24 Kurdish militants in northern Iraq and Syria, following a disarmament call from the jailed PKK leader. Turkey remains committed to its fight against terrorism in Syria, demanding the dissolution of the YPG, the leading force within the SDF. The Defense Ministry stated that it will closely monitor the implementation of the SDF-Damascus deal and its impact on the ground, assessing both positive and negative outcomes. Turkey's newly appointed military attache in Syria is expected to meet with the Syrian defense minister, and a military delegation from Turkey is set to visit the country soon. The SDF is expected to integrate into Syria's political system as a political party, while Turkey has no plans to withdraw its military presence from the region, emphasizing its commitment to ensuring stability and security.
