[00:00:00] is another goal, arms should be born by
[00:00:04] the national authority
[00:00:06] only, and for the region, for the stability of region,
[00:00:10] this is of crucial importance, and obviously our
[00:00:13] stability is important for the region at large,
[00:00:17] so that is why in order to achieve stability in the
[00:00:21] region, these these things
[00:00:24] must be taken into
[00:00:26] of account,
[00:00:52] of
[00:00:54] of
[00:01:05] of
[00:01:16] of
[00:01:30] national trade and a strategic railway
[00:01:34] line would between Turkey, Syria,
[00:01:37] Jordan and Saudi Arabia would bring together all these
[00:01:41] countries and also honor our historical
[00:01:44] heritage, and from
[00:01:46] a diplomatic point of view, this is going to make us even stronger
[00:01:49] and also um
[00:01:53] contribute to our efforts to achieve peace and prosperity and will
[00:01:56] also help us make the best use of our resources.
[00:02:00] "and on the diplomatic domain, as you know, there are many regional
[00:02:04] developments that are unfolding, wars and we are keeping very
[00:02:08] close eye on these developments, the attacks
[00:02:12] between the US and Iran, these need to come to an end as soon as possible,
[00:02:15] because we're also
[00:02:16] in being affected by these by these
[00:02:19] of events, and that is why we would like to call out
[00:02:22] to all the stakeholders and call
[00:02:26] out to brotherly Arab nations, the attacks towards..." these
[00:02:30] nations, we also condemn the stability
[00:02:33] of these brotherly arab nations is really important for us, because all of
[00:02:37] this is an impact on the stability
[00:02:39] of the region, and that it goes without
[00:02:42] saying that between the countries
[00:02:45] in the region, there needs to be more coordination
[00:02:48] and along the syrian borders and
[00:02:51] armed militia, pose an
[00:02:55] important threat to our national
[00:02:58] security.
[00:03:01] and um that is why in the face
[00:03:03] of these threats as a Syrian uh government we
[00:03:06] continue to work then night to protect our national
[00:03:10] security, these steps are incredibly
[00:03:12] important and all the technical um we
[00:03:16] will use all the technical means to make it happen, we will continue to do
[00:03:20] in so
[00:03:20] and of course uh we want Syrian citizens to come
[00:03:24] back to their
[00:03:25] of homelands and yes um those who
[00:03:28] return um we believe will
[00:03:32] be the foundation of New Syria, we believe that we will draw
[00:03:35] strength from their return, and when it comes to health care
[00:03:39] and schooling, electricity,
[00:03:41] all the other infrastructure related services, we're working in close
[00:03:45] cooperation with
[00:03:46] brotherly, we work
[00:03:50] with our neighbor to fix these problems, we have
[00:03:54] very long land border between Syria and Turkey and
[00:03:58] we want peace and prosperity.
[00:04:16] of
[00:04:29] of
[00:04:34] a
[00:04:38] Syria and which steps will you take to achieve this?
[00:04:41] and my next question is for minister fidan, the peace
[00:04:45] process in gaza, what would you make
[00:04:48] of the latest developments in oman? there was this
[00:04:51] of important meeting that took place yesterday in the west bank, Israel
[00:04:54] is continuing its belligerancy and attacking
[00:04:58] holis sides.
[00:05:21] during the war, many Syrians, as you know, had to flee their
[00:05:24] homeland and seek refuge in Turkey and now, especially
[00:05:28] after the revolution, now that the economic
[00:05:32] environment is getting better is improving, we are
[00:05:35] working really hard, and Turkey is really well advanced
[00:05:39] when it comes to these matters,
[00:05:41] and Turkey will
[00:05:42] help us.
[00:07:12] the underscored second the stage, second
[00:07:22] importance of this, and now where we are, as we move
[00:07:26] and we phase,
[00:07:26] have towards always we are seeing that Israel is getting cold feet, they're not
[00:07:30] really committing themselves to this in good
[00:07:33] faith,
[00:07:37] not and wish take any
[00:07:38] steps
[00:07:39] they cause do them to to leave
[00:07:42] that will Gaza.
[00:13:25] actors and we know what needs to be done in the face of
[00:13:28] such such threats. i thank you once again for your attention, thank you very
[00:13:32] much.
[00:13:40] that was a press conference in the Turkish capital Ankara just wrapping
[00:13:44] up with foreign minister Hakan Fedan with his Syrian counterpart
[00:13:48] assad al shaibbani. quite a lot of
[00:13:52] discussions were had on regional conflicts. and
[00:13:55] wars, um, some noteworthy points include ongoing efforts to make
[00:13:59] Syria more stable. Minister Fedan said the welfare of both
[00:14:03] Syria and Turkia is inter-twine, adding that when Damascus is prosperous,
[00:14:07] so are its neighbors. Tr tool's diplomatic correspondent
[00:14:10] Hasan Abdullah was also listening in. Hassan, one important
[00:14:14] move for the Syrian government is to bring all these local armed
[00:14:18] factions under single organized structure, as minister Fidan had
[00:14:22] mentioned. Um, how was this operation go? and of course I'm
[00:14:25] happy for you to include other note with the points that you picked up on by the
[00:14:29] foreign
[00:14:30] ministers, that's
[00:14:34] right, well the central focus has been on security, the security situation in
[00:14:37] Syria as well as the regional situation and in the context the
[00:14:41] various armed groups that are operating in Syria, we heard from the
[00:14:45] Syrian foreign minister talking about the importance of
[00:14:49] having all those operate under central command of Damascus,
[00:14:53] now of course one the challenges. that the two sides have been discussing is
[00:14:56] that in the south of Syria you've got Israel that has been
[00:15:00] providing support to some non-state actors that
[00:15:04] has been contributing towards destabilization of Syria,
[00:15:08] Syria has been looking towards Turkey to provide assistance in that
[00:15:11] regard, primarily in terms of capacity building
[00:15:15] and in terms of basically taking steps that would
[00:15:19] try to create deterrence for Israel to
[00:15:23] destabilize Syria now, There was a lot of talk about regional
[00:15:27] security cooperation, the bilateral level
[00:15:30] cooperation between Turkey and Syria as well as multilateral
[00:15:34] cooperation between various countries, particularly the... arab
[00:15:38] world and the talks that happened earlier in
[00:15:41] Jordan, they are basically talking about Israel as
[00:15:45] the central destabilizing force, for example
[00:15:47] we heard from Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fedan, he said that Israel's
[00:15:51] intentions and actions have been clear, it has been
[00:15:54] destabilizing situation not just in
[00:15:57] Syria but also Lebanon and the
[00:16:01] occupied Palestinian territories, and he talked about the bigger picture that
[00:16:04] needs to be addressed, of course
[00:16:06] there was a bilateral. mention as well, particularly economic dimension, turkey has
[00:16:10] been engaged in the capacity building of economic and
[00:16:14] financial institutions in Syria, we understand
[00:16:17] that Turkey is going to be building a
[00:16:20] school very soon in Damascus and also as the foreign minister said
[00:16:24] it's going to be working on the development of Syrian health infrastructure as
[00:16:28] well.
[00:16:29] I appreciate you listening as well, that's Hassan Abdullah there for
[00:16:33] us in Ankara. Thank
[00:16:34] you.
[00:16:42] To continue, well Iran and Oman have reached an understanding on the
[00:16:46] geographic coordinates for shipping route to the street of Almos, but
[00:16:50] Toront says that does not automatically guarantee safe navigation
[00:16:53] the waterway. US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about a
[00:16:57] potential agreement. Iran however, continues to deny direct
[00:17:01] talks with the United States and blames its blockade for holding a
[00:17:05] progress. Craig Boswell reports of
[00:17:07] Washington US president
[00:17:11] Donald Trump made only a passing reference to ending the Iran war during a
[00:17:15] campaign speech in Las Vegas on Wednesday. We were all set for the
[00:17:19] biggest attack since World War II and they called me
[00:17:23] and they said please don't do it let's talk and then they don't they said we never
[00:17:27] said that but we are talking let's see what
[00:17:29] happens. Terran says they are not
[00:17:32] talking, but a framework agreement for commercial shipping through
[00:17:36] the straight of homo being hammered out between Iran and
[00:17:39] Oman, the map, the transit roots, the
[00:17:43] entering and exiting of maritime traffic, and those by
[00:17:46] literal site agreements with Oman, because it's not just
[00:17:49] map, these fundamental agreements with Oman have been mostly
[00:17:53] completed, meaning we have made significant progress in our
[00:17:57] discussions with Oman, and this progress is on the verge of being
[00:18:01] finalized. Iran says it will not automatically reopen
[00:18:05] the crucial waterway, late Tuesday. Trump placed a time
[00:18:08] frame on the deal very nicely, we'll
[00:18:12] find that, well in 48 hours. The US president
[00:18:16] made that statement after saying all-day negotiations with Iran were
[00:18:20] positive. He immediately followed that up with a threat to resume military
[00:18:24] operations. It remains unclear from the Trump administration
[00:18:27] standpoint exactly who is talking, but the Americans have been
[00:18:31] clear that fees to transit the straight are not an
[00:18:34] option. As you know, the mediators. Pakistan and
[00:18:38] now Oman are all working together on on that issue, we are
[00:18:41] coordinating very closely with the Omanis to facilitate the talks between both sides
[00:18:45] and exchanging ideas. Marine traffic data on Wednesday shows about
[00:18:49] 10 commercial ships passed through the straight of Homus in about 25
[00:18:53] hours, as the standoff over the straight continues, so do the
[00:18:57] rising costs for American consumers and the global
[00:19:00] economy. Craig Boswell, TRT World,
[00:19:03] Washington. Raza Hatami is in
[00:19:06] Tedan with. the breakdown of those details in the iran omani agreement that relates to
[00:19:10] the waterway, commercial
[00:19:14] shipping basically means any ship that
[00:19:18] serves no military purpose, it means it
[00:19:21] includes oil tankers, it includes
[00:19:24] cargo, vessels, any ship that is
[00:19:27] not military and has no military dimension, but we have emphasize here that
[00:19:31] Iran says that deal with oman doesn't mean
[00:19:35] that the straight of hormos has been reopened, mean
[00:19:38] a deal with oman doesn't automatically reopen the straight
[00:19:42] of hormos. Iran says that other conditions have to
[00:19:46] be met before Tehran reopens this strategic
[00:19:50] waterway, including the United States lifting its naval blockade
[00:19:53] e including the United States stopping military threats.
[00:19:57] basically Iran wants the United States to return
[00:20:00] to the Islamabad memorandum of understanding and we
[00:20:03] know that if the United States is to
[00:20:07] by its commitments under the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, it has
[00:20:11] to lift the naval blockade, it has to grant wavers and Iran
[00:20:15] sanctioned oil and petrochemical products, and the
[00:20:19] United States has also declare officially that the war on Iran is
[00:20:23] over, Israel has to stop its attacks on Lebanon as well, as
[00:20:27] Iran and the United States, both them have reported good
[00:20:30] progress in talks between Tehran and
[00:20:34] Muscat, very few ships have been able to pass through this...
[00:20:38] of hormous and also there has been report of a fresh attack on
[00:20:42] Wednesday evening a vessel that was transiting through the
[00:20:46] straight of hormus, but basically if the straight... gets
[00:20:50] reopened. Iran says that any ship from any country that wants
[00:20:54] to pass through the strate of Ormus has to coordinate with Iran
[00:20:57] first and as to get Iran's
[00:21:00] approval. Yemen's Iran
[00:21:04] alliand Hothies have confirmed a missile attack on yet another
[00:21:07] Saudi linked oil tanker. The group says the vessel was targeted in the
[00:21:11] Gulf of Aden. On Wednesday they also claimed responsibility for the attack
[00:21:15] a Saudi tanker off the coast the red sea port of Yannbu. These
[00:21:19] latest attacks. come as the huthies step up pressure on Saudi Arabia after
[00:21:23] imposing naval blockade in the red sea last month of what they call a
[00:21:26] quote Saudi seege of
[00:21:28] Yemen. The Israeli
[00:21:31] military says two of its soldiers have been killed and eight wounded during combat
[00:21:35] in southern Lebanon. The strikes on Wednesday w in retaliation to
[00:21:39] what Israel described as Hezbulah violations the seasfire.
[00:21:43] It also urged residents the village of Monsuri to
[00:21:46] evacuate saying it was targeting and destroying Hezbollah infrastructure.
[00:21:50] there this uptake and violence is playing out
[00:21:53] against the backdrop the final day of peace talks in Rome between Israel and
[00:21:57] Lebanon, on the agenda, outstanding issues relating to the
[00:22:01] next phase of a gradual Israeli withdraw from southern Lebanon under US
[00:22:05] burked framework deal, diplomats are also looking into working a
[00:22:09] comprehensive peace and security
[00:22:11] agreement and is really forces continue
[00:22:14] to storm the calandia refugee camp in the occupied west
[00:22:18] bank, 16 palace have been injured, six
[00:22:21] palestinians have also been arrested emit the raids. They come day after
[00:22:25] the Palestinian red cresent said eight people were injured when Israeli
[00:22:29] forces sent reinforcements into the calander refugee camp in the
[00:22:33] occupied west bank. Local media reported the Israeli army
[00:22:37] distributing leaflets saying a large scale raid was
[00:22:40] being carried out in the camp. And
[00:22:44] three people have been killed in overnight strikes by Russia on Ukraine's eastern
[00:22:48] city of Balak. kia in the Karkiv region,
[00:22:52] rescue operations are underway as teams are struggling to clean out the debris
[00:22:56] from the attack, it comes after at least 17 people were killed and
[00:23:00] dozens more injured by a barrage of Russian missiles
[00:23:04] and drones launched at Kiev and the surrounding region early on
[00:23:07] Wednesday. Soon after the attacks,
[00:23:11] Ukraine's president spoke with NATO calling for more support. President
[00:23:15] of Zelinsky has also been hosting the UK's defense secretary in
[00:23:19] Kieve telling him that Moscow wants to further escalate the
[00:23:22] conflict, we think that we need the
[00:23:25] unanimity and we need strong support
[00:23:27] from from your country and from all other European
[00:23:30] France, that it this is a signal also that Russia
[00:23:34] gives us and to the world that they don't want to stop,
[00:23:38] and I think that they want to continue and to, I mean increase
[00:23:42] escalation, yes using the ballistic missiles
[00:23:46] and we have our estimation I want to share with you,
[00:23:50] have estimation that they will have, they will increase the production of such
[00:23:54] ballistic missiles. meanwile,
[00:23:58] the Russian army says its air defense systems shut down 605
[00:24:01] Ukrainian drones overnight. Local authorities reported logistics
[00:24:05] center belonging to Russian e-commerce giant wild berries had
[00:24:09] been slightly damaged a Ukrainian drone attack. Kyev is reportedly
[00:24:13] seeking to disrupt the operations the online retailer which are
[00:24:17] accused of aiding Russia's war. and
[00:24:20] Myanmar's leader is in Thailand on
[00:24:22] an un official visit as Bangkok pushes for re-engagement with its wartor
[00:24:26] neighbor and ASE and the regional block.
[00:24:30] Myanmar's leaders have been bad from ASEAN's summits since
[00:24:33] 2021 when Minister Ong Kling
[00:24:37] staged a coup against the elected government of Antansuchi,
[00:24:41] it led to a civil war that killed an estimated
[00:24:45] 100 thousand people. Minison is the subject
[00:24:49] of raft. western sanctions and has been seeking international
[00:24:52] legitimacy since becoming president in April. It followed an
[00:24:56] election he won overwhelmingly by an army backed party
[00:25:00] in the absence of any viable opposition.

[00:25:07] Thailand on Thursday puts trade and cross-border crime on the agenda
[00:25:11] along their shared frontier. Bangkok is seeking closer
[00:25:15] cooperation against networks that have survived repeated crackdowns as
[00:25:19] the former grunta leader tries to restore formal ties in the
[00:25:22] region. Let's take closer look. The one says
[00:25:26] Mawadi, a tung in southeastern Myanmar has become
[00:25:30] a major cyber scam and human trafficking hump.
[00:25:34] workers are lowed with fake jobs into industrial compounds
[00:25:38] and forced to run romance and
[00:25:42] cryptocurrency investment scams targeting victims
[00:25:45] worldwide. In February 2025, Bangkok cut
[00:25:49] electricity. internet and fuel to 5mm border areas, then
[00:25:52] tightened telecom, banking and uh border
[00:25:56] checks. Thailand also helped free about 5,00 people trapped in
[00:26:00] Myanmar Scam centers. Right, groups estimate that more than
[00:26:04] 5,300 foreign nationals are still being held in four
[00:26:07] sites. last month, mayma passed a law
[00:26:10] authorizing life imprisonment for operating a scam center
[00:26:14] while violent collusion can carry the death penalty if victim
[00:26:18] dies. yet the UN says the networks are outpacing enforcement using
[00:26:22] AI and expanding after taking at least 88 billion
[00:26:26] dollars from Asia pacific victims last
[00:26:28] year. that's the news. For
[00:26:32] now, business is coming up
[00:26:34] next.
[00:27:37] Courage or cowordis? Switzerland is thinking
[00:27:41] again about being
[00:27:42] neutral, and the
[00:27:46] country's arms industry wants changes to the law so it can
[00:27:49] export weapons more
[00:27:51] easily.
[00:27:58] What is the price of swiss neutrality? Is it helping others?
[00:28:02] by being a peacemaker or simply helping
[00:28:06] itself.
[00:28:10] neutrality the swiss say doesn't mean they're not ready to
[00:28:13] defend themselves. i can hit the
[00:28:16] cast, all this a country where
[00:28:20] civilian gun ownership is one the highest in the
