Syrian Foreign Minister Condemns Any Attack on Gulf States: Their Stability Is a Pillar of the Regional Security Architecture

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaybani condemned the attacks targeting Gulf Arab states.

Speaking at a press conference with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan in Ankara, al-Shaybani said, “We express our condemnation of any attacks on Gulf states, as the stability of Gulf countries is a fundamental pillar of the regional security architecture,” calling for the Gulf states to be neutralized from the conflict due to the importance of their role in the region. Al-Shaybani stressed that “unified Syria constitutes the optimal barrier for protecting shared borders, and we coordinate our steps with Ankara in response to our common interests.”

For his part, the Turkish Foreign Minister stated that “Syria is a country that contributes to making peace in the region, and its security and stability are essential; Syria’s territorial integrity must be protected, and pressure must be exerted on Israel in this regard,” affirming that Turkey seeks to elevate relations with Syria through new projects in various sectors.
