Türkiye President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Syria’s Transitional President Ahmed al-Sharaa met in Ankara on Tuesday, with discussions focused on a potential joint defense pact. According to four sources familiar with the matter, the proposed deal could involve the establishment of Turkish airbases in central Syria and training for Syria’s new army.
NATO member Türkiye has long supported Syria’s armed and political opposition to ousted leader Bashar al-Assad, who was toppled in late December following a rapid offensive led by Sharaa’s forces.
Türkiye is positioning itself to play a major role in the new Syria, filling a vacuum left by Assad’s main regional backer Iran. This shift in influence could spark rivalry with Gulf Arab states and potentially raise concerns in Israel.
