Ankara sees the Kurdish militia in Syria as a terror group, arguing it had to militarily intervene to prevent terrorism threats.

Al-Moualem also said Damascus was expecting that the Syrian army's ongoing operation against the rebels would result in the withdrawal of Turkish troops from Idlib.

Turkey has repeatedly said it does not have an eye on anybody's territory, but top Turkish officials have stated that Ankara would hand over the lands under its control in Syria to local people rather than to Damascus.

"Turkey wants to establish principalities under its control in the areas it controls," said Solmazturk. "However, Turkey cannot possibly keep its military presence in Syria for long under the current global picture even if it should get Washington's support."
