Erdoğan Advocates Turkish-Kurdish-Arab Unity Amid YPG Control Struggles in Aleppo
President Erdoğan stated the importance of Turkish-Kurdish-Arab unity at an AK Party meeting, warning against provocations amid the YPG's efforts to maintain control in Aleppo. Türkiye's initiative aims to disarm the PKK, whose Syrian wing is the YPG.
The Syrian army recently achieved a significant victory against the YPG in Aleppo neighborhoods. Türkiye called for the YPG to comply with a March 2025 agreement for integration with the Syrian army. Erdoğan asserted that the YPG's actions threaten regional unity and noted that stability in Syria is crucial.
MHP leader Bahçeli criticized the YPG and emphasized Turkish-Kurdish brotherhood. He denounced attempts to negotiate with the YPG, labeling it a terrorist organization. The Syrian government and Türkiye seek to preserve Syria's unity and territorial integrity amid rising tensions.
