Ahmet Y\u0131ld\u0131z<\/a>, made the remarks at a Security Council meeting on Syria on Aug. 27, citing the recent Israeli strikes on the Abu al-Duhur airbase in northwestern Syria.<\/p>\n\u201cWe condemn Israel\u2019s relentless attacks targeting Syria\u2019s infrastructure and capabilities in blatant violation of Syria\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity,\u201d Y\u0131ld\u0131z said.<\/p>\n
He said the attacks continued to affect civilians and undermine stability and \u201cmust cease.\u201d<\/p>\n
Y\u0131ld\u0131z called on Israel to comply fully with the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement, refrain from further escalation and reverse its incursions into Syrian territory.<\/p>\n
He also urged the international community, particularly the Security Council, to act to end the attacks and what he described as Israel\u2019s occupation of Syrian territory.<\/p>\n
Israeli aircraft struck the runways and hangars of the Abu al-Duhur airbase on Aug. 18. No casualties were reported.<\/p>\n
Israel said the strike was intended to prevent Turkish troops from deploying at the facility, which it regarded as a threat to its security. T\u00fcrkiye and Syria denied that a Turkish base or permanent troop deployment was planned.<\/p>\n
Y\u0131ld\u0131z said strengthening Syria\u2019s national capabilities was a sovereign right and did not constitute a threat to another country.<\/p>\n
\u201cT\u00fcrkiye\u2019s military cooperation with Syria is conducted with the consent of the Syrian government,\u201d he said. \u201cNone of our activities in Syria are directed against or pose a threat to any third country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Attempts to obstruct Syria\u2019s efforts to strengthen its security capacity could create conditions for Daesh to re-emerge, he added.<\/p>\n
Y\u0131ld\u0131z also welcomed Washington\u2019s decision to remove Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism.<\/p>\n
He said the decision would support Syria\u2019s economic recovery and reconstruction, strengthen its ties with the international community and contribute to lasting stability.<\/p>\n
Y\u0131ld\u0131z said Syria was steadily advancing toward stabilization and welcomed progress by the country\u2019s People\u2019s Assembly and in judicial proceedings concerning transitional justice and accountability.<\/p>\n
He also welcomed International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi\u2019s recent visit to Syria and praised the Syrian government\u2019s cooperation with the agency.<\/p>\n
