Erdogan Supports Rebel Gains in Syria Amid Civil War

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expressed support for a rebel offensive in Syria, which has rapidly captured several major cities, including Aleppo and Hama. Erdogan emphasized the need for dialogue between the Syrian government and opposition, criticizing President Bashar al-Assad for not engaging in talks. Turkey, while not directly intervening, has reportedly approved limited operations and coordinated with Russian forces. The situation is being closely monitored by Turkish intelligence, and further discussions are planned with Russian and Iranian officials.
