Turkiye reopens embassy in Syria 12 years after suspension of operations
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the Türkiye’s Embassy in Syria’s capital of Damascus will reopen on Saturday, for the first time since 2012.
In an interview with Türkiye’s NTV television, Mr Fidan said a newly appointed interim charge d’affaires had left for Damascus on Friday together with his delegation.
“It will be operational as of tomorrow,” he said.
The embassy in Damascus suspended operations in 2012 due to the escalating security conditions during the Syrian civil war.
At the time, embassy staff and their families were recalled to Türkiye.
