Israel targeting Syrian sovereignty with its occupier mindset: Turkish foreign minister

By Esra Tekin

ISTANBUL (AA) - Israel is targeting Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity with its occupier mindset, Türkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told parliament Tuesday.

“Israel's aggression, oppression, and lawlessness continue. As Türkiye, we will always stand by our Syrian brethren,” he said.

Türkiye wants to see a Syria where peace and tranquility prevail, and religious and ethnic groups live in harmony without creating instability for its neighbors, he said.

Fidan also warned that arming the Greek Cypriot Administration could trigger a new arms race on the island.
