President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan declared a significant victory for the Syrian army in Aleppo against the YPG, highlighting the 'terror-free Türkiye' initiative aimed at disarming the PKK. He described recent clashes with the SDF as a 'historic opportunity' for their integration into the Syrian national army, which aims to foster unity among Turks, Kurds, and Arabs. The integration committee has conducted 20 meetings and is expected to finalize its report this month, with Erdoğan emphasizing the importance of clearing the SDF from Aleppo for lasting peace in Syria.
