Erdogan announced that Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan would soon be visiting Syria to work on the"new structure" to be established in the country. One of the key elements of this process, Erdogan said, is drafting a new constitution. To this end, Türkiye has initiated direct communication with influential figures in Syria’s new administration.Addressing pressing issues such as energy shortages and security challenges in the neighboring country, Erdogan pledged to resolve Syria’s energy problems swiftly and to strengthen trade relations with both Damascus and Iraq.
He also welcomed the fact that many countries from the Islamic world and the West have begun developing contact with Ahmad al Sharaa. Erdogan addressed the discovery of mass graves in Syria, describing them as the most painful images of the reality of the Baath regime.
