President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Türkiye and Lebanon are on the same page regarding the re-establishment of order in Syria, as he reiterated Ankara’s determination to support the stability and welfare of both countries.
Erdoğan was speaking at a joint news conference with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati.
“A new era has begun in Syria. As two important neighbors of the country, We have agreed on the need to act in unison,” Erdoğan said.
Highlighting that the security of Lebanon was directly intertwined with the stability of the region, Erdoğan said there would be no peace in the region if there was no cease-fire in Gaza and permanent peace in Palestine.
“We expect all actors who are aware of the fact that Syria’s stability means stability in the region to contribute to this process and sincerely hope they do,” he said. He continued by saying that he believes the Syrian people will successfully overcome the process and that both Türkiye and Lebanon aim to revive Syria.
From politics to economy, returning refugees to humanitarian aid, Turkish institutions are gearing up to develop bilateral ties and rebuild Syrian infrastructure devastated by 13 years of civil war following the ouster of Assad’s brutal regime.
Earlier on Wednesday, Erdoğan welcomed Mikati in an official ceremony at the Presidential Complex.
Türkiye has repeatedly expressed solidarity with Lebanon, amid Israeli aggression.
Türkiye dispatched tens of tons of humanitarian support to Lebanon in line with President Erdoğan’s instructions and Lebanon’s requests.
Ankara also welcomed the cease-fire in Lebanon while expressing its readiness to extend support to the country to establish internal peace.
