Türkiye says it welcomes a seven-step Syrian roadmap that aims to preserve calm, ensure stability and prevent renewed conflict in Sweida province in the south of the country.
The ministry also underlined that Ankara will continue supporting all initiatives promoting peace for the country, while upholding the principles of territorial integrity, unity, and sovereignty.
The roadmap was announced on Tuesday by Syria, Jordan and the United states in Damascus after high-level talks at the Tishreen Palace between Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, and U.S. envoy to Syria Tom Barrack.
Shaibani says the key components are - uninterrupted humanitarian and medical aid, restoration of essential services, deployment of local security forces, compensation for those affected, facilitation of displaced persons’ return, clarification of the fate of the missing, and the launch of a comprehensive reconciliation process.
He also said all individuals responsible for attacks on civilians and property would be held accountable.
The Syrian government pledged to invite an International Independent Investigation Commission to probe the events and ensure justice. It says that legal proceedings will be initiated against those who violated civilian rights and property.
Security forces under Syria’s Interior Ministry will be stationed along the Sweida-Damascus road, while civilian fighters are to withdraw from the area. Trained police will operate under the Amman Agreement framework.
Damascus, with Jordan and U.S. backing, will also continue humanitarian and medical deliveries through the United Nations and international partners, alongside plans to rebuild damaged villages with contributions from Amman and Washington.
Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi stressed that the agreement works within the framework of Syria’s unity and stability. He said Syria must stabilise, recover, and rebuild after years of destruction, adding that security in southern Syria directly affects Jordan’s own security and stability.
U.S. envoy Tom Barrack, speaking on behalf of President Donald Trump and the Secretary of State, acknowledged that the process would face many challenges. He emphasised that building confidence will be a slow and fragile task that can easily be lost, warning that setbacks are likely along the way.
The crisis in Sweida began on the 13th of July with clashes between Bedouin Arab tribes and Druze armed groups, later escalating into deadly confrontations with Syrian security forces.
At least 169 people's lives were lost during the clashes according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights reports. A ceasefire has been in place since the 19th of July.
