Syria seeks Türkiye’s support to develop reclaimed oil fields

The Syrian government has formally requested Türkiye’s assistance in developing oil fields recently restored to the control of Syrian authorities.

These areas, including major energy-producing sites, were previously under the control of the PKK/YPG terrorist organization, also known as the People’s Protection Units-SDF, Caliber.Az reports, citing Turkish media.

Syria has expressed a clear interest in cooperating with Ankara to tap into its oil resources.

Türkiye’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Alparslan Bayraktar, confirmed the request, noting that discussions with the Syrian side regarding potential collaboration on oil field development are underway.
