ISTANBUL (AA) - Türkiye has stood for the preservation of Syria's territorial integrity, unity and unitary structure from the very beginning, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Ankara on Thursday.

President Erdogan and Blinken discussed bilateral relations, the latest developments in Syria and global and regional issues during their meeting, the Turkish Communications Directorate said.

Erdogan told Blinken that Türkiye will take measures for its national security against terrorist organizations such as the PKK/PYD/YPG and Daesh/ISIS operating in Syria.

As the only NATO country to have fought Daesh/ISIS in direct combat, Türkiye will prevent the PKK terror group and its affiliates from taking advantage of the situation, Erdogan said.

The international community must work together on the revival and reconstruction of institutions in Syria, and Türkiye will never allow any weakness in the fight against Daesh/ISIS, he added.

Türkiye's efforts to enhance bilateral relations in all areas will continue in the new period, Erdogan said.
