Following recent clashes in Syria, the Syrian government has formally requested support from Turkey to strengthen its defense capabilities and counter terrorist groups. Turkish officials announced that their assistance will focus on providing training, advisory, and technical support to the Syrian armed forces, rather than deploying additional troops. The move comes amid heightened tensions in southern Syria, particularly in Suwayda, following intensified Israeli strikes on Damascus. Turkey emphasized its commitment to Syria's territorial integrity and regional stability, aiming to help establish lasting peace through capacity-building measures for Syrian defense institutions.
