Voluntary returns to Syria will accelerate.

We closely monitor the increasing attacks by terrorist groups in Tel Rifat and Manbij targeting civilians and Türkiye.

The failure to implement agreements with stakeholders to eliminate terrorism in these areas heightens our concerns.

Maintaining stability in Idlib and nearby regions, at our border’s zero point, remains a priority for Türkiye.

We have warned on various international platforms that the recent attacks on Idlib have reached a level that would undermine the spirit and functioning of the Astana agreements and cause serious civilian casualties, and we have noted that these attacks must be stopped.

As a matter of fact, the recent clashes have led to an undesirable escalation of tension in the region.
