Turkiye to help Syria with weapon systems, source says

ANKARA (Reuters): Turkiye will help Syria with the provision of weapons systems and logistical tools under a military cooperation accord signed on Wednesday, a Turkish defense Ministry source said on Thursday, adding that Ankara would also train Syria’s army in the use of such equipment if needed.

In a first step toward a comprehensive military cooperation agreement, Turkiye and Syria signed a memorandum of understanding on military training and consultancy after talks between their foreign, defense ministers, and intelligence chiefs.

The source told reporters in Ankara that the Kurdish-led and US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) had not met any of the conditions set out in a March agreement with Damascus on the group’s integration into Syria’s state apparatus, and added Ankara expected it to urgently respect the deal.
