ISTANBUL (AA) - Türkiye's Center for Combating Disinformation (DMM) rejected on Saturday claims that Ankara has displayed a hostile attitude toward Kurds during the ongoing developments in Syria, calling such allegations “entirely unfounded.”

“Claims that Türkiye has displayed a hostile attitude toward Kurds during the process unfolding in Syria, and that our President (Recep Tayyip Erdogan) and ministers have made statements to that effect, are entirely unfounded,” DMM said in a statement released on its Turkish social media platform NSosyal.

The DMM emphasized that remarks made by Turkish officials were directed solely at “terrorism and terrorist organizations,” and that these statements had been deliberately taken out of context.

The center also called on the public and regional audiences not to be misled by what it described as malicious and inaccurate narratives.

“It is respectfully requested that the public, as well as our friends, brothers, and neighbors with whom we have shared common values for centuries, do not take into account ill-intentioned and factually baseless content,” the statement added.
