Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the destruction of all terrorist organizations, including the PKK [Kurdistan Workers' Party banned in Turkey] and ISIS [Islamic State, a terrorist organization banned in Russia] is important to protect the territorial integrity of Syria. The Lebanese TV channel Al-Mayadeen, citing its own correspondent, reported that armed units of the so-called "Syrian National Army" [SNA], with the support of Turkiye, are amassing significant reinforcements to the Manbij area in the northeast of the Syrian province of Aleppo to attack the positions of Kurdish forces. "There's a new administration in Damascus now. I think this is primarily their concern now. So I think if they address this issue properly, so there would be no reason for us to intervene," Fidan told Al Jazeera when asked whether Turkiye's military interference was necessary to conduct an anti-terrorism operation in Syria.
