A summary of Erdogan's statements today (the Mecidiye Anthem in the background while reading would be a suitable option) :
There is a new political and diplomatic reality in Syria. And Syria belongs to Syrians with all its ethnic, sectarian and religious elements.
It is the Syrian people who will decide the future of their country.
We are aware that the separatist terrorist organisation acts with the eagerness to grab a log from the flood.
As Turkiye, I would like it to be known that we will not allow any move that would jeopardise our national security and interests.
The support of all responsible actors and international organisations for the protection of Syria's territorial integrity will be the best way forward for our entire region.
Syrian lands are saturated with war, blood and tears. Our Syrian brothers and sisters deserve freedom, security and peace of mind in their homeland.
Turkiye's sole aim is the welfare and well-being of the Syrian people in all its segments.
This was always our aim when we opened our doors to our brothers and sisters fleeing from massacres and persecution, and when we extended our hand to find a solution to the Syrian crisis.
However, the Damascus regime could not realise the value of Turkiye's outstretched hand and could not understand what it meant.
Turkiye is on the right side of history today as it was yesterday.
Turkiye is on the right side of history, where peace prevails, where no one is excluded, where no one's rights and freedoms are violated, where no one is persecuted, where different identities live side by side in peace, without discriminating between Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, Alawites, Sunnis, Alawites, Christians and Sunnis.
