ANKARA (Reuters) -Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan welcomed an agreement between the Kurdish-led and U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Syria’s new government, saying its full implementation would contribute to security and stability in the country.

An agreement to integrate autonomous Kurdish institutions in Syria’s northeast into the new Syrian national government will “serve peace”, Turkey’s president said on Tuesday.

Turkey is taking all measures and will continue to provide all possible support for the territorial integrity and unity of Syria, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, referring to the escalating violence against the Alawites and Christians of Syria and denounced what he described as “ efforts to ignite the Syrian ‘fire’ in Turkey “.
