Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Thursday that Türkiye did not want to resort to military action again against Syria’s Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), but warned that the patience of the actors involved was running out over what he described as delays in implementing an integration deal.

“We just hope that things go through dialogue, negotiations and peacefully. We don’t want to see any need to resort to military means again. But SDF should understand that the patience of the relevant actors is running out,” Fidan told in an interview with TRT World.

“They should come to a place where their commitment to the agreement of the 10th of March should be honoured. Everybody is expecting them to honour that agreement without any delay and without any twisting because we don’t want to see a deviation from this agreement,” he added.
