Netanyahu Trying to Cover Up Genocide in Gaza, Says Turkish FM Fidan

Fidan drew historical parallels, stating that "this historical madness that Netanyahu and his friends have brought about is a repeat of the similar madness they condemned 60-70 years ago, the madness of Hitler."

Regarding Syria, he expressed concerns about Israel's expansionist policies, saying there is "no acceptable aspect to Israel's expansionist stance, particularly that of the Netanyahu government, regarding Syria."

He also criticized certain groups in Syria for seeing Israeli pressure as "an opportunity to develop a separatist political discourse" rather than jointly building Syria's future.

Fidan noted that some states and entities had been waiting for Syria's new administration to make mistakes before taking action but began to become the problem themselves when they saw no mistakes were being made.

He also addressed ongoing negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, expressing optimism about peace prospects. He noted that he had held numerous discussions regarding the negotiations, saying Ankara remains hopeful for peace, with sufficient reason for this hope.

Fidan ​referenced developments from recent Russia-Ukraine negotiations in Istanbul, noting that positions presented by the parties in the third round were later brought to the agenda in the Alaska Summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin and became concrete. 

Regarding relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, he highlighted the positive developments for regional peace. He said that agreements reached between Armenia and Azerbaijan, along with the accord between Azerbaijan and the U.S., painted a very positive picture for the region.

He noted that the declaration of the Zangezur Corridor, a strategic link connecting Azerbaijan with its exclave of Nakhchivan​​​​​​​, signified acceptance in principle of Azerbaijan's fundamental demands from the outset, though he added there was nothing concrete with a clear format after the declaration and that it was accepted as a concept for parties to negotiate among themselves.
