Turkey's intelligence work in Syria aims to prevent Kurdish militant threats

Turkey's intelligence agency is credited with playing a key role in maintaining calm in Syria. This is part of President Erdoğan's strategy, which focuses on eliminating the YPG, a Kurdish militant group that Turkey considers a terrorist organization linked to the PKK.

A leader from the PKK, another Kurdish militant group, has stated that tensions in Syria could negatively impact Turkey's goal of being free from terrorism. This suggests the militant groups see the situation in Syria as connected to their activities against Turkey.
