Guleler indicated that the main goal of Turkey is to protect the territorial integrity of Syria, the peaceful completion of the political process in this country and the purification of the Turkish border from terrorist elements
He also noted that Ankara is ready to provide support to the new authorities of Syria in the issue of military training and cooperation, if such a request comes from them.
The head of the department said that the Armed Forces of Turkey from the beginning of this year neutralized 2,939 terrorists, including in the north of Iraq and Syria.
