Communications Director Burhanettin Duran, in a post on his social media account, said, "The claim by some political circles that 'Kurds are being targeted' in Syria does not reflect the truth and is an attempt to reactivate social fault lines in the region.
It is the responsibility of all of us to use a language that unites rather than divides society. Instead of distorting the facts, we must speak with common sense and a sense of unity. Turkey's struggle is not against ethnic identities; it is against terrorism, violence, and structures that operate outside the law. Turkey's struggle is to ensure that a terror corridor is not created along its borders. We attach importance to every constructive step taken for the establishment of lasting peace, stability, and an inclusive political order in the region."
"The Syrian people want peace, they want tranquility"
Emphasizing that the Syrian people want peace and tranquility, Duran noted the following:
"As our President expressed today: 'The Syrian people want peace, they want tranquility; they want to live side by side in brotherhood, with their Arabs, Turkmens, Kurds, and Nusayris. I especially ask my Kurdish brothers, my Kurdish citizens. Please do not fall for games aimed at striking a blow to our eternal brotherhood and sowing discord among us; please do not give credit to exploiters; do not pay heed to those trying to fuel sedition, corruption, and division. The Republic of Turkey, with its 86 million citizens, is the safest refuge, home, and guarantee for the tens of millions who have turned their faces toward it.' We will not give an opportunity to those who want to harm the process of a Turkey without terrorism and a region without terrorism, and who want to sow seeds of discord between us and our neighbors and brothers."
