Iran Press/West Asia: The embassy, which had suspended operations in 2012, officially reopened with Burhan Koroglu, Turkish ambassador to Mauritania, as acting charge d’affaires.
“We are delighted to see our embassy in Damascus resume operations after 12 years with the raising of our cherished flag,” Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz said on X.
“The reopening of our embassy stands as one of the most concrete steps reflecting our commitment to Syria's stability, as well as to fostering peace and cooperation in our region,” he added.
Yilmaz also hoped that Turkey's diplomatic engagements with Syria would "contribute to the normalization of life for the brotherly Syrian people and support the rebuilding of Syria’s institutional, economic, and physical conditions."
“I wish our embassy in Damascus great success and extend my gratitude to everyone who contributed to this achievement,” he added.
