Ömer Çelik on Syria: An important threshold has been crossed

AK Parti Deputy Chairman and Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik said that the dissolution of SDG marked an important threshold in terms of strengthening Syria’s internal unity.

Çelik stated that they support Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and expressed that the Şara administration’s inclusive steps were contributing to the country’s progress toward the future in unity. He noted that the goals of a “Terror-Free Türkiye” and a “Terror-Free Region” would contribute to stability, security and prosperity in the region.

Why it matters

Çelik’s statement shows that the SDG issue is being addressed not only as a matter of Syria’s internal order, but also in conjunction with Türkiye’s security approach and regional stability goals. The link he established between the dissolution and Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity also sets out the framework for political support for the Şara administration’s steps toward inclusiveness. This approach indicates that the goals of a Terror-Free Türkiye and a Terror-Free Region are being presented as complementary issues. However, the text provides no details on how the dissolution decision will be implemented, the scope of the inclusive steps, or the concrete effects of the process on security and unity on the ground. Therefore, the statement clarifies the political stance and priorities more than it outlines an implementation plan.
