Turkey Says SDF Breaching Deal with Damascus, Damaging Syria's Unity
The source also warned that the recent clashes between the Kurdish parties and government forces threaten the country's unity, according to Reuters.
'It has not escaped our attention that the SDF terrorist organization's voice has become louder, empowered by the clashes in Syria's south,' the source told reporters at a briefing in Ankara.
Turkey considers the US-backed SDF a terrorist organization and has repeatedly noted that it expects the group to abide by the deal to disarm and integrate into Syria's state institutions.
'The SDF terrorist organization's attacks in the outskirts of Manbij and Aleppo against the Syrian government in recent days damage Syria's political unity and territorial integrity,' the source added.
In March, Syria's President Ahmad Al-Sharaa and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Chief Mazloum Abdi signed an agreement to integrate the civil and military institutions of Kurds into the Syrian government.
However, the implementation of this deal was held up by differences between both parties. Significant Kurdish Conference
In May, Kurdish parties hosted a significant conference to introduce a unified vision for the country's future after the ousting of Bashar Assad, according to AFP.
As a major component of Syria, Kurds 'must present a solution and a project proposal for the future of Syria,' Eldar Khalil, an official in the Kurdish Democratic Union Party, said.
Moreover, Abdi called for 'a new decentralized constitution that includes all components' of society.
'We support all Syrian components receiving their rights in the constitution to be able to build a decentralized democratic Syria that embraces everyone,' he added.
Overall, the Kurdish administration called 'for a pluralistic democratic system, social justice, gender equality, and a constitution that guarantees the rights of all components' of society.
The Kurds expressed their aspiration of being effective partners in building a new Syria, demanding a decentralized Syria that embraces all its people and guarantees their rights equally.

Turkey Says SDF Breaching Deal with Damascus, Damaging Syria's Unity
A Turkish Defense Ministry source stated on Thursday that Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have failed to comply with a deal signed with the new government earlier this year to integrate into Syria's state institutions. The source also warned that the recent clashes between the Kurdish parties and government forces threaten the country's unity, according to Reuters.

Turkish foreign minister in Damascus for talks with Syria's al-Sharaa, source says
Turkey's foreign minister will hold talks with Syria's president in Damascus on Thursday to assess bilateral ties, tensions between Syria and Israel, and recent clashes between a Kurdish-led group and the Syrian government, a Turkish Foreign Ministry source said. NATO member Turkey has emerged as one of Syria's main foreign allies after the ousting of Bashar al-Assad last year. It has pledged to help rebuild the war-torn country, train and advise its armed forces, and support it in the international arena. The source said Syria's reconstruction would be among the top agenda items during Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan's meeting with President Ahmed al-Sharaa, in addition to Ankara's security concerns over recent violence in Syria. 'The talks are expected to assess Turkey's national security concerns stemming from northeast Syria, as well as cooperation between the two countries in the fight against terrorist organizations... at a time when preserving Syria's territorial integrity and unity is more important than ever,' the source said. Ankara considers the Kurdish-led, US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces a terrorist organization. It has repeatedly said the SDF, which controls much of northeast Syria, must abide by an agreement it signed with Damascus in March to integrate into the Syrian state apparatus, while also providing technical, advisory and military support to Syria to increase its defense capabilities and fight IS militants. Fidan's visit follows clashes this week between the SDF and Syrian government forces in Manbij and Aleppo, and weeks of tensions between Israel and Syria over fighting between Druze and Bedouin forces last month, which Ankara has described as an Israeli sabotage attempt against efforts to achieve stability in Syria. Fidan, who has said Israel aimed to fragment Syria and that Ankara would not allow this, will also discuss 'the actions and rhetoric of Israel that pose a threat to Syria and the region's stability,' the source said.
