Syrian Ministry of Media:

We affirm that all war media professionals who were part of the war and propaganda machine of the Assad regime, and contributed to promoting its crimes and massacres against the Syrian people, will be subject to a fair trial.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

Our embassy in Damascus will reopen tomorrow.

We sent a message to Israel, saying, “Stop bombing Syrian territory.”

One of the ringleaders of the YPG/PKK terror group, Ferhat Abdi Sahin, code-named "Mazlum Abdi":

We are under constant attack from the Turkish military and Turkish supported opposition. This situation has paralysed us.

We hope the US will put more pressure to stop the attacks on our region. The pressure applied so far is not enough.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

Eliminating the terrorist PKK/YPG is our top strategic priority. Using ISIS to blackmail the international community through PKK/YPG is unacceptable.

The so-called fight against ISIS is merely acting as prison guards. PKK/YPG oversees Daesh detainees, but Syria now has a national government capable of resolving this issue.

It is unacceptable for PKK members from Europe and the U.S. to exploit Syrian oil fields and smuggle the oil through Iraq. Syria’s national government also rejects this.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

We sent a message to Israel to abandon their dangerous strategy of provocative occupation of Golan Heights region in Syria.

Fidan:

If the Netanyahu administration gets a green light from Trump, it will expand its expansionism to include the West Bank. This would also threaten Jordan and Egypt.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

The entire command of PKK/YPG must leave the country, even if they are Syrian. The remaining cadres should lay down their weapons.

I think Syrians will return in parallel with the stabilization of their country.

Hakan Fidan:

Syria has a sovereign national government now. They do not recognize YPG or any other power. They will reclaim their land.

Leader of the White Helmets Raed Al Saleh:

My message to all Syrians is that we wont forget the crimes committed against them by Assad’s regime and all its pillars, and we’ll remain by their side until justice is achieved.
