Turkiye to reopen embassy in Syria

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says that 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 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 had suspended operations in 2012 due to the escalating security conditions during the Syrian civil war.

All embassy staff and their families were recalled to Türkiye.
