Türkiye has welcomed the decision by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors to close the nuclear file concerning Syria from the agency’s agenda.

The Turkish government described the decision as an important development and praised Syria’s cooperation with the international nuclear watchdog. Ankara highlighted Syria’s commitment to its obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

Türkiye also pointed to what it described as Syria’s close cooperation with the IAEA and the transparency demonstrated by the country regarding activities associated with the previous Syrian regime.

The decision by the IAEA Board of Governors followed discussions over Syria’s nuclear-related activities and the country’s cooperation with the agency. The closure represents a significant development in the international monitoring of Syria’s nuclear obligations.

For Türkiye, the outcome also carries regional significance because developments involving Syria have direct implications for the security and stability of the surrounding region.

Ankara said it would continue supporting Syria through relevant international platforms. The position reflects Türkiye’s broader interest in contributing to diplomatic and institutional efforts concerning Syria.

The development also highlights the role of international monitoring mechanisms in addressing concerns surrounding nuclear activities. Cooperation with the IAEA remains an important component of the international non-proliferation framework.

Türkiye’s response indicates that Ankara views the closure of the file as a positive step and an opportunity for Syria to continue engaging constructively with international institutions.

The decision could contribute to a broader diplomatic process surrounding Syria as the country works to strengthen its engagement with international organisations and demonstrate compliance with its international commitments.

Türkiye’s latest position therefore combines support for the IAEA decision with continued backing for Syria’s cooperation with international institutions.
