The fall of the bloody regime “Baas” has created opportunities for establishing peace and security in Syria.
This was stated by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at an event on the occasion of the International Human Rights Day in Ankara.
“, with the fall of the bloody regime” Baas “opened doors to peace and safety in Syria,” said, in particular, the Turkish leader.
President Erdogan noted that Türkiye from the very beginning occupied a clear position on the Syrian issue. “We always approached the Syrian crisis through the prism of conscience,” he said.
The head of state confirmed the preservation of Turkey demonstrated throughout its history of adherence to the support of the persecuted peoples of the world. “We did not ask those who came to us, Turks, Arabs or Kurds. We did not ask those who asked us for help, Muslims, Christians or Judea,” he said.
The President recalled the support that Türkiye provided to millions of Syrian refugees during the period of 13 years of civil war in this country. “Türkiye did not leave its brothers alone during the atrocities in Gaza or during the Syrian crisis,” the politician said.
The Turkish leader also criticized the policy of double standards in the field of human rights practiced in the international arena. “Today, human rights are perceived in the world as a privilege applicable only to a particular region and a certain group of population,” he stated.
