Turkey asks UK to boost protection for Syrian president

Informed sources have revealed that Turkish intelligence requested its British counterpart (MI6) last month to take on a greater role in protecting Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. This request was made amidst efforts to ensure the Syrian leader's security. Sources emphasize that talks between intelligence agencies are ongoing, and a final decision has not yet been reached. A positive response would mark a significant step in international cooperation to ensure stability in the region.
