Türkiye has reaffirmed that it will not be asking anyone for permission to wage a ground military operation in neighboring Syria, but indicators for it launching the campaign remain absent at a time the country is facing Russian and US pressures to fall back on its planned operation against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
National Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said that Türkiye doesn’t require any party’s approval to carry out military operations against what he labeled as terrorists.
