Maintaining calm in Idlib and the adjacent region, which is at the zero point of our border, is a priority for Türkiye.

Since 2017, several agreements have been reached regarding the Idlib de-escalation area. Türkiye diligently fulfills the requirements of all agreements to which it is a party.

We have warned on various international platforms that the recent attacks on Idlib have reached a level that undermines the spirit and implementation of the Astana agreements and that there have been large civilian casualties. We have emphasized that these attacks must come to an end. In fact, the recent clashes have resulted in an undesirable escalation of tensions in the region.

It is of utmost importance for Türkiye that yet another and greater instability is avoided and that civilians are not harmed.

At the same time, we are closely monitoring the increase in attacks against civilians and against Türkiye by terrorist groups in Tal Rifaat and Manbij, who are trying to take advantage of the current environment of instability. We are further concerned that the previous agreements reached with the relevant parties to end the terrorist presence in these areas have not yet been fulfilled.

In line with our commitment to Syria's unity and territorial integrity, and our priority to fight against terrorism, we are following the developments closely.
