ANKARA — Turkey’s foreign minister, its defense minister and its intelligence chief traveled to Damascus on Monday for talks on the stalled integration of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces into Syria’s military as Ankara dismissed claims of internal disagreements over its policy toward the group.

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Defense Minister Yasar Guler and intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin met their Syrian counterparts — Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani, Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra and intelligence chief Hussein al-Salama — as well as Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Damascus.

The high-level visit came as a March 10 agreement between Syria’s interim government and the Kurdish-led SDF to integrate the force into Syria’s national military has stalled, with only days left before a year-end deadline for implementation.

“We see that they do not intend to make much progress in implementing the agreement,” Fidan said at a joint news conference with Shibani. Shibani echoed the criticism, saying the SDF had not demonstrated a “serious will” to implement the agreement or taken any concrete steps to do so.
