Last minute Syrian administration and SDGN’s agreement: Ministry of National Defense Resources
The Ministry of National Defense has provided some insights into the recent agreement signed between the new Syrian administration and the terrorist organization SDG. The Ministry expressed its commitment to closely monitor the implementation of the agreement and its impact on the field. They emphasized that Turkey remains determined in its fight against terrorism and expects an end to terrorist activities in Syria, the disarmament of terrorists, the removal of foreign terrorists from Syria, and the preservation of Syria’s territorial and political integrity. Additionally, Turkey’s military attaché in Syria will be accepted by the Syrian Defense Minister, and a military committee from the Ministry will be visiting Syria in the near future.
Eurofighter Procurement Updates
Regarding the supply of 40 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft to meet the operational needs of the Turkish Air Force, the Ministry confirmed that the request for proposal has been submitted to the UK Ministry of Defense and the relevant company. They are currently evaluating the proposal that has been received.
European Security Architecture
In discussions about European Security Architecture and Chief of General Staff Gen. Metin Gürak’s recent visit to Paris, the Ministry highlighted Turkey’s role as an integral part of the European security architecture. As a NATO and OSCE member and a candidate country for the European Union, Turkey plays a crucial role in regional crisis resolution, has a strong defense industry, and a powerful military. Recent events have underscored Turkey’s significance in securing European security. Discussions about defense industry cooperation, particularly in Ukraine and European security, are expected during the visit of the UK Defense Minister to the Turkish Ministry. Furthermore, Turkey participated in the Defense and Security Forum in Paris, where they discussed common approaches to current security architecture and sought constructive solutions. Turkey is ready to contribute to European security and remains engaged in diplomatic efforts on this front.
