Faisal Al-Miqdad the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in the Damascus government In response to a question about what happened in Istanbul and the subsequent statements of the Turkish occupation state, Al-Miqdad said "If the Turkish administration wants to exploit such Incidents against Syria, they know that they are the ones who sent thousands and perhaps hundreds of thousands of terrorists to Syria."

Al-Miqdad made the point clear that Turkey, "until this moment, prevent water from our people in Hasaka, and more than a million and a few thousand of our people in Hasaka suffer of the Turkish stance," and "I know that Turkey did not permit of experts to reach Alouk station."

"So we say to the Turkish state that the people of Syria aware of their conspiracies, and we have understood the message, Syria will defend every grain of its soil." Al-Miqdad added.

About Mevlut Cavusoglu's statements on normalisation with Syria, Al-Miqdad said: "We are listening to their statements. However, by eliminating terrorism, military withdrawal from Syrian territory, and stopping any support for Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS, and these are all steps that prove the true intentions of this Turkish administration, despite all the discussions that took place during the last period.
