QA-13, 12 October 2024, Statement of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Öncü Keçeli, in Response to a Question Regarding the Extension of Executive Order 13894 by the USA for a Further Year / Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The decision by the US Government to extend Executive Order 13894, first issued in 2019 within the context of developments in Syria, for a further year is incompatible with the realities on the ground.

Instead of repeating such prejudiced steps, supporting Türkiye’s policies prioritizing Syria’s territorial integrity and political unity would contribute to regional stability.
