Türkiye and Germany reaffirm cooperation on Syria, Gaza, and Ukraine, with Erdogan stressing peace efforts and Steinmeier backing a two-state solution while rejecting Trump's Gaza relocation proposal.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated on Wednesday that Türkiye will maintain its collaboration with Germany on key regional matters, including developments in Syria, the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.
During a joint press conference in Ankara with visiting German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Erdogan emphasized the importance of achieving lasting peace and stability in Syria, particularly following the establishment of a new administration after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December.
On Ukraine, Erdogan reiterated Türkiye’s long-standing position in favor of ending the war through a "just peace" and noted that this, along with other regional issues, had been a key topic in their discussions.
Addressing the situation in Gaza, Erdogan stressed the importance of upholding the ceasefire, which has been in place since January 19, and called for collective responsibility in working toward a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Regarding Islamophobia, Erdogan voiced concern over the rising incidents of xenophobia, racism, and anti-Islamic rhetoric in Europe, which, he said, also affects the Turkish community living there.
Steinmeier, in turn, acknowledged Türkiye’s significant role in regional peace efforts and highlighted Germany’s shared interest in establishing lasting stability.
He also criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's controversial proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries like Jordan and Egypt, calling such plans deeply troubling and a violation of international law.
The German president welcomed the common stance between Türkiye and Germany on maintaining the ceasefire in Gaza, viewing it as an initial step toward a broader political process that should involve all relevant parties.
