Turkish Troops Might Pull Out From Syria Under Certain Conditions, Foreign Minister Says
08:33 19.12.2024 (Updated: 15:48 19.12.2024) ANKARA (Sputnik) - Syria's armed opposition captured Damascus on December 8. Russian officials have said that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad stepped down as president after talks with participants of the Syrian conflict and left Syria for Russia, where he was granted asylum.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Turkish troops might withdraw from
Syria under certain conditions.
"There were two major objectives of Turkish presence in Syria. One is to prevent further mass migration to Turkey, because under opposition control, still today, 5 million people were living under opposition control; and counterterrorism issues were primarily important for us. Right now, when we see that those two major concerns are eliminating, we have no reason to stay in Syria," Fidan told Al Jazeera in an interview.
He said the new administration in Syria should be given some more time to see how events will develop.
Mohammed al-Bashir, who ran an Idlib-based administration formed by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and other opposition groups, was named interim prime minister on December 10. He announced later that the
interim government had been formed and would remain in place until March 2025.
