Erdoğan: Türkiye, Syria Won’t Allow Chaos

Ankara | Sept 2, 2025

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Tuesday that neither Türkiye nor Syria will tolerate groups seeking to destabilize Syria, stressing that all communities — Arabs, Kurds, Turkmens, Alawites, Sunnis, and Christians — will prevail over “war barons.”

Erdoğan warned that “whoever undermines this process will pay the price,” referring to YPG attempts to join Syria’s army as a bloc and push for autonomy.
He said Türkiye will stand by Syria’s unity, providing support to strengthen its fight against terrorist groups.
On Palestine, Erdoğan criticized Washington’s move to block Palestinian officials from attending the U.N. General Assembly, saying it “only pleases Israel.”
He reiterated Türkiye’s call to suspend Israel from international organizations over its actions in Gaza, which Ankara calls genocide.
On Ukraine, Erdoğan said only dialogue can end the war, citing Türkiye’s role in grain deals and prisoner swaps.
He expressed optimism for lasting peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia, tied to the U.S.-brokered Karabakh deal and the Zangezur Corridor project.
Erdoğan also highlighted growing ties with China, saying Türkiye will continue acting as a bridge between East and West.
