Turkey’s ruling AK Party says the dissolution of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) is a key step toward strengthening Syrian unity and state authority. In comments reported from Ankara, an AK Party spokesman links the move to broader efforts to stabilize Syria after major political changes in the country.
The outlets describe Turkey as increasingly aligned with Syria’s new leadership after President Ahmed al-Sharaa takes power following the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Turkey says it supports Damascus in rebuilding the state and restructuring institutions and armed forces, and it has provided political and diplomatic backing. France 24 adds that Turkey has long viewed the SDF as tied to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which waged an insurgency against the Turkish state for decades. Across the reports, Turkey frames the SDF dissolution as contributing to stability, while the emphasis varies between promoting Syrian unity, consolidating government control, and signaling Turkey’s broader strategy toward a stronger alliance with Damascus.
