ISTANBUL 

Lt. Colonel Hasan Goz has begun his duties as the military attache at the Turkish Embassy in Damascus, the mission announced on Tuesday.

A statement shared on the embassy’s X account confirmed Goz’s appointment, emphasizing the ongoing military cooperation between Türkiye and Syria.

"Our military cooperation with brotherly Syria continues intensively," the embassy said.

The Turkish Embassy in Damascus began operations in December following a hiatus of 12 years, as regime leader Bashar al-Assad fled the country and a new administration led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, now the president, took charge.
