Turkish President Erdoğan has issued a stark warning to Kurdish militants in Syria, demanding they lay down their arms or face being "buried" in Syrian soil. This comes amidst escalating tensions with the YPG militia, part of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which Turkey views as linked to the PKK, a terrorist organization. Erdoğan also announced plans to open a consulate in Aleppo and expects increased border traffic as Syrian migrants begin returning. These developments underscore the evolving political landscape in Syria following Bashar al-Assad's departure.
