Speaker 1: European Commission EASY president found Elean on Tuesday visited Turki

for the settlement of Syria refugees in Talki, days after

00:00:13,359 –> 00:00:17,440
Israelief forces patrolled inside recently since the militarized zone along

the border with Syria as still added, announced plans to

00:00:20,199 –> 00:00:22,719
double the number of Israelis living in the parts of
7
00:00:22,760 –> 00:00:26,480
the Golan Heights Israel captured from Syria in nineteen sixty seven.
8
00:00:26,480 –> 00:00:30,000
Good reports of hostilities between US backed Kottish Group and
9
00:00:30,079 –> 00:00:33,560
Talking backed Islamist group in recent days in Kottish towns,
10
00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:38,200
which United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Gia Pedersen said
11
00:00:38,240 –> 00:00:40,799
on Tuesday there have been conflicts in Syria in the
12
00:00:40,880 –> 00:00:43,799
last two weeks and the conflicts among the Rebems if
13
00:00:43,920 –> 00:00:49,439
left uncontrolled, many catastrophic. European Commission, in a news release
14
00:00:49,520 –> 00:00:53,719
on Tuesday, reported that the Commission President visited Turki and
15
00:00:53,799 –> 00:00:57,439
discussed additional one billion euros for twenty twenty four to
16
00:00:57,479 –> 00:01:01,719
support Turkey’s efforts to host Syria refuge geese. The news
17
00:01:01,759 –> 00:01:06,640
release rates it details those thank you President Adawan for
18
00:01:06,719 –> 00:01:10,640
your one welcome to Ancara today let’s me start with
19
00:01:10,760 –> 00:01:14,640
our discussion on Syria. The collapse of the Assad regime
20
00:01:14,760 –> 00:01:18,040
offers new hope to the Syrian people, but it equally
21
00:01:18,079 –> 00:01:23,120
comes with risks. The situation on the ground remains extremely volatile,
22
00:01:23,519 –> 00:01:27,959
so we are closely monitoring the developments. The Syrian people
23
00:01:28,079 –> 00:01:33,040
deserve a peaceful transition, one that preserves their country’s territorial
24
00:01:33,120 –> 00:01:38,519
integrity and sovereignty, one that upholds state institutions and one
25
00:01:38,519 –> 00:01:42,120
that reflects the aspirations of the Syrian people in all
26
00:01:42,200 –> 00:01:46,879
their diversity. So it means that national unity must be
27
00:01:46,959 –> 00:01:51,879
respected and minorities must be protected. This is aligned with
28
00:01:51,959 –> 00:01:55,840
the principles agrieved by the foreign ministers meeting in Akaba.
29
00:01:56,599 –> 00:01:59,560
Europe is ready to do its part to support Syria
30
00:01:59,640 –> 00:02:01,200
at the critical juncture.
31
00:02:01,920 –> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: Allow me to.
32
00:02:02,640 –> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: Mention some points where the European Union will be active
33
00:02:06,079 –> 00:02:11,080
right away, our top diplomat returns to Damascos. We already
34
00:02:11,120 –> 00:02:16,439
have a European presence in damas Cost through our humanitarian teams. Indeed,
35
00:02:16,879 –> 00:02:20,280
we have always maintained our presence in Syria to support
36
00:02:20,360 –> 00:02:23,719
those in need while respecting the principles of no contact,
37
00:02:24,240 –> 00:02:28,719
no cooperation, no funding to they ASAD regime. But now
38
00:02:28,759 –> 00:02:32,280
we have to step up and continue our direct engagement
39
00:02:32,400 –> 00:02:36,439
with HTS and other fac shows. We will enhance our
40
00:02:36,479 –> 00:02:41,960
engagement in early recovery, including basic services like electricity and
41
00:02:42,039 –> 00:02:47,199
water and infrastructure. We have increased our humanitarian air to
42
00:02:47,280 –> 00:02:50,120
more than one hundred and sixty million euros for this
43
00:02:50,280 –> 00:02:54,560
year alone, and we have launched a humanitarian airth bridge
44
00:02:54,840 –> 00:02:58,039
and the first goods are expected to arrive this week.
45
00:02:58,759 –> 00:03:03,080
Europe is already areas biggest don’t know. Since twenty eleven
46
00:03:03,520 –> 00:03:08,439
our annual serial conferences have mobilized over thirty three billion euros.
47
00:03:08,800 –> 00:03:13,039
We must continue this support with a new focus on reconstruction.
48
00:03:13,599 –> 00:03:17,039
This would be a stealth by stealth approach and we
49
00:03:17,120 –> 00:03:21,000
would need to start a discussion on sanctions relief. But
50
00:03:21,199 –> 00:03:24,479
this can only happen if real progress on a peaceful
51
00:03:24,520 –> 00:03:28,800
transition is seen on the ground. Indeed, the fallow of
52
00:03:28,840 –> 00:03:32,520
the Assad regime gives hope to the Syrian people, the
53
00:03:32,680 –> 00:03:36,159
hope of returning to their homes and rebuilding their lives.
54
00:03:36,360 –> 00:03:40,240
It is the most natural feeling there is. However, the
55
00:03:40,319 –> 00:03:45,319
lack of predictability demands utmost caution. Therefore, one thing is
56
00:03:45,439 –> 00:03:50,400
very clear. All returns must be voluntary, self and dignified.
57
00:03:51,199 –> 00:03:54,520
We are working with unhc ARE to make sure that
58
00:03:54,560 –> 00:03:59,719
the necessary conditions are met. President Edavan Tokyo has an
59
00:03:59,800 –> 00:04:04,039
essas central role to play in stabilizing the region. Together,
60
00:04:04,560 –> 00:04:08,639
we must also remain vigilant against terrorism. The risk of
61
00:04:08,759 –> 00:04:14,000
a dish resurgence, particularly in Eastern Syria, is real. We
62
00:04:14,039 –> 00:04:19,519
cannot let this happen. Tokia’s legitimate security concerns must be addressed.
63
00:04:19,920 –> 00:04:24,160
At the same time, it is important to allow all Syrians,
64
00:04:24,199 –> 00:04:29,480
including all minorities, to be safe. Today we also discuss
65
00:04:29,600 –> 00:04:32,279
them relationship between Tokyo.
66
00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 2: And the European Union.
67
00:04:33,800 –> 00:04:37,319
Speaker 1: Our relationship is as rich as it is complex, but
68
00:04:37,560 –> 00:04:41,879
one thing is clear. It is moving forward for good reasons.
69
00:04:42,279 –> 00:04:45,000
One of my first travels at the beginning of my
70
00:04:45,160 –> 00:04:50,240
second mandate brings me here to Ankara. Our economic relationship
71
00:04:50,319 –> 00:04:54,600
is stronger than ever. The numbers speak for themselves. Tread
72
00:04:54,680 –> 00:04:57,519
between us hit a record high of two hundred and
73
00:04:57,680 –> 00:05:02,199
six billion euros last year. The European Union is Tokia’s
74
00:05:02,319 –> 00:05:04,480
largest trade and investment partner.
75
00:05:04,920 –> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: Our intention is to strengthen thus further.
76
00:05:07,800 –> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: We launched a new high level dialogue on trade last
77
00:05:11,000 –> 00:05:14,319
June and we will now start a high level dialogue
78
00:05:14,319 –> 00:05:18,120
on the economy, and we are also exploring opportunities for
79
00:05:18,199 –> 00:05:22,000
renewed engagement with the European Investment Bank in toky eight.
80
00:05:22,680 –> 00:05:26,439
I also look forward to resuming discussions on a modernized
81
00:05:26,480 –> 00:05:31,319
customs union. We both have a lot to get here. However,
82
00:05:31,759 –> 00:05:37,279
as we discussed, progress will require strongler efforts. Specifically, we
83
00:05:37,399 –> 00:05:40,839
need to address a number of trade barriers. I asked
84
00:05:40,879 –> 00:05:44,759
my Commissioner Maron Sefkovic to work on this immediately together
85
00:05:44,879 –> 00:05:48,439
with you. We also discuss the need to prevent the
86
00:05:48,480 –> 00:05:52,920
circumvention of our sanctions against Russia, and of course it
87
00:05:53,079 –> 00:05:57,040
is also important to re establish talks with Cypros within
88
00:05:57,120 –> 00:06:01,199
the UN framework. I want to acknowlg that Tokiya has
89
00:06:01,279 –> 00:06:06,000
consistently shouldered the responsibility of hosting millions of Syrian refugees
90
00:06:06,079 –> 00:06:09,240
over the years, and we have stood by you in
91
00:06:09,319 –> 00:06:14,199
those efforts. Since twenty eleven, the EEO has provided nearly
92
00:06:14,279 –> 00:06:18,160
ten billion euros to support refugees and the hosting efforts
93
00:06:18,160 –> 00:06:22,360
of local communities. I am very pleased to announce today
94
00:06:22,800 –> 00:06:26,240
that an additional one billion euros for twenty twenty four
95
00:06:26,360 –> 00:06:31,240
is on its way. This will support, among others, healthcare
96
00:06:31,360 –> 00:06:35,600
and education of refugees in Tokia. It will continue to
97
00:06:35,680 –> 00:06:40,600
contribute to migration and border management, including voluntary returns of
98
00:06:40,680 –> 00:06:45,000
Syrian refugees, and as says evolve on the ground, we
99
00:06:45,079 –> 00:06:48,079
can adapt those one billion euros to the new needs
100
00:06:48,120 –> 00:06:52,000
that might occur in Syria. Tokyo continues to be a
101
00:06:52,120 –> 00:06:56,319
key partner in managing migration along the Eastern Mediterranean route.
102
00:06:56,920 –> 00:06:59,720
It is crucial that we work together on our short
103
00:06:59,759 –> 00:07:04,639
pricethorities and debbil our cooperation on border management. They fight
104
00:07:04,759 –> 00:07:08,839
against my grant smuggling and on visas. There is a
105
00:07:08,879 –> 00:07:11,639
lot of work ahead of us and I look forward
106
00:07:11,720 –> 00:07:15,800
to continuing our good cooperation, both in supporting the Assyrian
107
00:07:15,920 –> 00:07:19,600
lad and Syrian own political transition and independent the relationship
108
00:07:19,680 –> 00:07:23,920
between Tokye as a candidate country and the European Union.
109
00:07:24,720 –> 00:07:28,279
Together we can achieve a lot for our people, for
110
00:07:28,360 –> 00:07:32,680
the region and beyond. European Commission news release ends in
111
00:07:32,800 –> 00:07:38,079
quote Routers on Tuesday reported that and International war crimes
112
00:07:38,079 –> 00:07:41,800
prosecutors said evidence from mass graves in Syria exposed a
113
00:07:41,879 –> 00:07:46,680
state run machinery of death under Tophold leader Basha al Assad,
114
00:07:47,040 –> 00:07:51,240
with over one hundred thousand tochun and modern since twenty thirteen.
115
00:07:52,079 –> 00:07:55,519
Speaking after visiting two mass grave sites in the towns
116
00:07:55,560 –> 00:07:59,600
of Qtpha and Nigeria Damascos former US war crimes and
117
00:07:59,680 –> 00:08:03,800
Bassas though at large, Stephen Rapp told routers, we certainly
118
00:08:03,839 –> 00:08:07,040
have more than one hundred thousand people that were disappeared
119
00:08:07,079 –> 00:08:10,600
into and toto to death in this machine. I don’t
120
00:08:10,680 –> 00:08:14,000
have much doubt about those kinds of numbers, giving what
121
00:08:14,079 –> 00:08:16,040
we’ve seen in these mass griefs.
122
00:08:16,480 –> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: We really haven’t seen.
123
00:08:17,759 –> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: Anything quite like this since the Nazis, said rap Whull
124
00:08:21,839 –> 00:08:25,399
led prosecutions are the Rumana and SIERRAI on War Crimes
125
00:08:25,399 –> 00:08:29,079
tribunals and is working with Syrian Civil Society to document
126
00:08:29,240 –> 00:08:32,279
war crimes evidence and is helping to prepare for any
127
00:08:32,320 –> 00:08:36,960
eventual trials. From the secret police who disappeared people from
128
00:08:37,039 –> 00:08:40,799
their streets and homes, to the jealous and interrogators who
129
00:08:40,840 –> 00:08:44,120
start and tortured them to death, to the truck drivers
130
00:08:44,120 –> 00:08:47,360
and bundoz and drivers who ged their bodies, thousands of
131
00:08:47,440 –> 00:08:50,720
people were working in the system of killing, Rapp said,
132
00:08:51,519 –> 00:08:55,679
adding we are talking about a system of stath terror
133
00:08:56,039 –> 00:09:00,360
which became a machinery of death. AFP also report uted
134
00:09:00,399 –> 00:09:04,159
on Tuesday that a UN envoy has warned that sirious
135
00:09:04,240 –> 00:09:09,279
protracted conflict has not ended yet, even as Victorio’s Islamist
136
00:09:09,399 –> 00:09:12,919
led rebels stuff of contact with government that deemed oust
137
00:09:13,120 –> 00:09:17,840
President Basha or Assad a pariah. Asad fled Syria just
138
00:09:18,000 –> 00:09:21,759
over a week ago following enlightening offensive spearheaded by the
139
00:09:21,840 –> 00:09:26,360
Islamist healtha heir of sham Hts, more than thirteen years
140
00:09:26,399 –> 00:09:30,279
after his crackdown on democracy protests precipitated one of the
141
00:09:30,320 –> 00:09:35,559
deadliest wars of the century. However, the United Nations Special
142
00:09:35,720 –> 00:09:40,480
Envoy for Syria, Geya Pedersen, said on Tuesday, there have
143
00:09:40,600 –> 00:09:44,519
been significant hostilities in the last two weeks before a
144
00:09:44,600 –> 00:09:49,279
ceasefire was broke out. I am seriously concerned about reports
145
00:09:49,279 –> 00:09:55,240
of military escalation. Such an escalation could be catastrophic, self pedercl,
146
00:09:55,720 –> 00:09:59,840
referring to fighting between the US bat Konnish led Syrian
147
00:10:00,000 –> 00:10:04,639
Democratic Forces SDF and Turkish backed groups who have captured
148
00:10:04,639 –> 00:10:09,399
several Kurdish towns in recent weeks. Washington later announced it
149
00:10:09,519 –> 00:10:12,759
had broken an extension to the Cincepria in the flashpoint
150
00:10:12,840 –> 00:10:15,879
town of man Beach and was seeking a broader understanding
151
00:10:15,960 –> 00:10:20,559
with Ankara. The marriage truth is extended through the end
152
00:10:20,600 –> 00:10:24,320
of the week and we will obviously look to see
153
00:10:24,360 –> 00:10:28,200
that since FIA extended as far as possible into the future.
154
00:10:28,639 –> 00:10:34,559
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters that kept amidfields
155
00:10:34,559 –> 00:10:37,399
of an assault by talkie on the cottage health border
156
00:10:37,480 –> 00:10:41,960
town of Kobani, also known as an al Arab, SDF
157
00:10:42,039 –> 00:10:45,240
leader Muslim are De proposed in a post on social
158
00:10:45,320 –> 00:10:49,559
media platform x the establishment of a de militarized zone
159
00:10:49,679 –> 00:10:54,639
in Kobani on the US supervision. Washington regards the SDF
160
00:10:54,679 –> 00:10:57,759
as an important alley in its war against the Islamic
161
00:10:57,799 –> 00:11:01,720
State Group in Syria. Although knew Da masco’s authorities have
162
00:11:01,919 –> 00:11:05,200
made cleared their opposition to continued Kotdish self rule in
163
00:11:05,240 –> 00:11:09,879
