In an interview with the Turkish Haber channel, Fidan emphasized that the integration of the SDF into Syrian administration troops is a central issue discussed with Washington and must proceed within a framework of mutual understanding. He added that talks between Damascus and the SDF have significant importance but have faced delays, particularly due to Israeli interventions in southern Syria and other regional developments.
