Turkish FM announces possibility of withdrawal of Turkish troops from Syria

If the threats posed by migration and terrorism are eliminated, Türkiye will have no reason to maintain a military presence in Syria, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said, AzVision.az reports.

He noted that Türkiye's presence pursued two key goals.

"The first is to prevent a new wave of mass migration to Türkiye, as about 5 million people lived in opposition-controlled territories. The second is the fight against terrorism. Now that these problems are starting to be solved, we have no reason to stay in Syria," the minister noted.

He said that Türkiye intends to use its influence in Syria to attract additional aid to the Syrian people.
