US President-elect Donald Trump stated that Türkiye will play a pivotal role in shaping Syria's future, following the recent fall of Bashar al-Assad's government, as Türkiye reopens diplomatic ties with Damascus after supporting the victorious rebel forces.
US President-elect Donald Trump announced that Türkiye will play a decisive role in determining the future of Syria after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government earlier this month.
Trump’s remarks come as rebel forces, backed by Türkiye, successfully seized power in Damascus, ending Syria’s 13-year-long civil war. Türkiye, a NATO member, has been a key supporter of the rebels throughout the conflict.
In a significant diplomatic move, Türkiye reopened its embassy in Damascus on Saturday, marking the restoration of official ties just two days after its intelligence chief visited the Syrian capital.
The developments highlight Türkiye’s growing influence in the region as global powers turn their attention to Syria’s reconstruction and future governance.
