“We never abandoned our Syrian sisters and brothers in their hardest times, and we will continue to support them in this new period. Being of historic importance, I see this visit today [of Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa] as the start of a new era of eternal friendship and cooperation. All of our institutions have been working tirelessly to rebuild our relationship to a strategic level. We have no doubt that our Syrian sisters and brothers, who inspire the region with their resilience, will rebuild their country. Besides humanitarian aid to Syria's devastated landscape, we are also ready to support the rebuilding of critical infrastructure. As Syria's economic recovery gains momentum, so will the voluntary returns gain traction. On the other hand, a series of international sanctions against Syria present an obstacle to the economic and infrastructural recovery efforts. Türkiye's efforts to lift these sanctions that were intended to target the Assad regime have provided flexibility. However, we will continue to pursue lifting these sanctions until the job is complete.”
