Syria's interim leader holds talks with key ally Turkey on his second international trip
![]() 4450 Tuesday, 04 February, 2025, 20:09 Syria’s interim president was in the Turkish capital on Tuesday for talks expected to focus on Syria’s economic recovery as well as the presence of Kurdish-led forces in the north of the country that Turkey considers to be a security threat. Ahmad al-Sharaa, who was appointed interim president last week, appeared to have been welcomed in Ankara with a low-key ceremony compared to other heads of state, who are usually received with military bands and mounted troops escorting them on arrival. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan greeted al-Sharaa, who was dressed in a suit and a red tie — an apparent nod to the Turkish flag — with a small group of the honor guard at the entrance of the vast presidential palace complex. Turkey was a strong backer of groups opposed to Assad during the country’s 13-year civil war and is considered to be one of the new administration’s key allies. |
