Minister Fidan's statement on the SDF: Mazlum Abdi is a message carrier, he executes the orders given

Minister Fidan stated, "There is a committee under the Peace Council. One is the committee that will undertake the administration representing the national will of Gaza. The other will undertake the secretariat of Gaza. Gaza is our urgent issue. We are at the beginning of the process. The Rafah border crossing could be opened next week. Turkey is already conducting uninterrupted aid activities with the Turkish Red Crescent. They are condemned to tents in this cold weather regarding shelter. Currently, there is the issue of transporting containers."

"We have the will regarding military support if the necessary conditions are met"

Minister Fidan said, "The process of admitting new members continues. I think 6-7 more countries will join. It could settle in the 25-30 band. Our job in Gaza is not easy; now another struggle is beginning. Israel is against everything related to us, but our struggle will continue. We have the will regarding military support if the necessary conditions are met."

"The ceasefire may need to be extended a little longer"

Emphasizing that the ceasefire in Syria could be extended a little longer, Minister Fidan said, "There are many events in the process leading up to the ceasefire. Let me put it briefly. Currently, there is the issue of transporting ISIS prisoners from Syria to Iraq. In such an environment, the ceasefire may need to be extended a little longer. There is such a demand right now. There is ongoing diplomatic traffic, and we are part of it. We do not want any conflict at all. I hope a positive peace process will be initiated."

"The SDF does not listen to any message coming from Ankara"

Upon being asked how the SDF was resolved in two weeks, Minister Fidan said, "Honestly, it was not a surprise to me. We knew this very well. The dynamics in the region where the YPG occupied, which is densely populated by Arabs, had been read for years. The tribal structure and how and when the tribes would revolt were within our knowledge. Mazlum Abdi is a message carrier; he executes the orders given. If the KCK tells the YPG to enter politics, they enter. It is completely dependent on Qandil. Non-Syrian PKK members need to leave the region. The presence of the PKK in Sinjar is not sustainable. The organization needs to transform itself before facing extinction. The SDF does not listen to any message coming from Ankara. They should not be a tool for the agendas of others."

"Such a loss of territory means the collapse of the alliance"

In response to the question, "What is the reason for the US's insistence on Greenland, and will Europe be able to withstand this insistence?" Minister Fidan replied, "It is no secret that the US has such a longing and strategic desire. How this should happen is a separate matter, but it is clear that there was an attempt during the Trump era. Such a loss of territory would mean the dissolution of the alliance."

"There are signs that Israel is seeking to attack Iran"

Stating that there are signs that Israel is seeking to attack Iran, Minister Fidan said, "There is great economic hardship in Iran. It may not be an accurate analysis to interpret the public's reaction to economic problems as a reaction against the regime. The protests are genuine, but what others expect will not happen. As people of the region, we do not want a new war. There was intense telephone traffic on the night it was said that the US would intervene in Iran. I hope they find a way as Iran. In particular, there are signs that Israel is seeking to attack Iran."
