DUBAI: Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al Shaibani said Wednesday the country is committed to holding accountable those responsible for any violations in Druze-majority region of Sweida.
Speaking from Ankara, Al Shaibani was accompanied by Syrian Defense Minister Marhaf Abu Qasra and intelligence chief Hussein Salameh.
Shaibani reiterated Damascus’s sentiments in assuring the Druze community that they are part of Syria and their protection is the responsibility of the state.
Al Shaibani also rejected the notion of exploitation of the Druze community by Israel and other agents.
Speaking at the joint press conference with his Syrian counterpart, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan also blamed Israel for its attempts to meddle in Syrian affairs.
”Israel is working to stir chaos in Syria,” Fidan added
Fidan also said Syria is heading toward stability and developing constructive international relations.
Al-Shaibani’s trip to Ankara is focused on enhancing cooperation between the two countries, enhancing security and developing economic investments.
It comes a week after Fidan visited Damascus where he affirmed Turkiye’s support for Syria and called on the international community to shoulder responsibility in curbing Israeli aggression and occupation of Syrian lands.
