**((Arabian Gulf)) Agencies:** Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that Turkey has observed movements in northern, southern, eastern, and western Syria after the conflict that took place between the Bedouins and Druze in the southern governorate of Suwayda. In a television interview on Friday with the local "NTV" channel, Fidan pointed out that Turkey warned of the danger of dividing Syria after they observed groups exploiting what happened in Suwayda, saying: "As Turkey, we had to issue a warning and we did so, because we want Syria's unity and integrity." He emphasized the importance of Syria for Turkish national security, stressing the importance of unity, order, and peace in the countries neighboring Turkey. According to Fidan, Turkey's primary goal is to ensure peace, stability, and security in the region. He indicated that Syria is witnessing the launch of a process with the support of Turkey, countries in the region, the European Union, and the United States. Fidan said: "We have always seen that there are parties that can benefit from the division of Syria, from its instability, and from its failure to recover, and that they want Syria to remain mired in a pit of despair, frustration, and negativity." He added: "When the picture did not turn out as they expected thanks to the diplomatic negotiations we conducted, and also the efforts made by the international community, these people resorted to following a completely different scenario," noting that Israel has such a goal. Fidan pointed out that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that he does not have a very positive opinion regarding the stability of Syria.
