Turkey is taking proactive steps to prevent new instabilities in the region arising from Syria's recent transformations, President Tayyip Erdogan informed his Iraqi Kurdish counterpart, Masrour Barzani, during a meeting in Ankara.
Erdogan underscored Turkey's stance that the PKK and its extensions have no place in Syria's future, following a recent rebellion that saw the ousting of former president Bashar al-Assad. The meeting also centered on maintaining Iraq's stability and security in light of the Syrian developments.
Turkey's call for the disbandment of the YPG militia in northeast Syria remains strong. The YPG, linked with PKK and a part of the U.S.-allied Syrian Democratic Forces, played a significant role against ISIS but is seen by Turkey as a threat to regional peace.
