Fidan also emphasized the need for increased cybersecurity measures, noting that the Turkish government is considering the establishment of an independent organization to address these threats. President Erdogan has signaled his support for this initiative.
Regarding the normalization process with Syria, Fidan stated that Turkey is prepared to meet with President Assad. Indirect talks have already been taking place, and Fidan believes that resolving the Syria issue could pave the way for addressing other challenges in the region.
