Istanbul, Dec 18, 2024 (AFP) — Turkey's foreign minister said Wednesday there would be no reason for his country to launch an offensive against Kurdish forces in Syria if its new rulers "properly" addressed the issue of the groups, whom Ankara brands "terrorists".

"There is a new administration in Damascus now. I think, this is primarily their concern now," minister Hakan Fidan said in an interview with broadcaster Al Jazeera.

"So, I think if they are going to, if they address this issue properly, so there would be no reason for us to intervene."
