Turkiye recently reopened its embassy in Syria after being closed for over a decade.

The Turkish embassy in Damascus had been closed since March 26, 2012, amid escalating violence during the early stages of the war on Syria and Ankara's calls for al-Assad to step down.

During the war, Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) provided strategic leverage for Turkiye by acting as a key player in countering the Assad government and Kurdish forces in northern Syria.
