Turkey set to reopen embassy in Syria, nominates charge d’affaires to Damascus
12 December 2024 20:01 GMT
Turkey will reopen its embassy in Syria, and on Thursday, it appointed ambassador Burhan Koroglu as temporary charge d’affaires to Damascus, the Anadolu Agency reported.
The move comes after Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin was filmed in Damascus on Thursday.
However, the decision to appoint a charge d’affaires rather than an ambassador to Damascus could signal Turkey is stopping short of taking the formal step of recognising Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham as the legitimate government of Syria.
