Turkey Warns Syrian Government May Use Force Against Kurdish-Led SDF Amid Tensions

Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that while dialogue remains preferable, the Syrian government might use force against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) if political issues remain unresolved. The SDF, viewed by Turkey as linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), faces pressure to integrate into Syria's central government under a stalled agreement. Turkey emphasizes continuing its peace process with the PKK and urges the SDF to break the cycle of violence amid ongoing tensions in northern Syria.
