Yet, several key crossings connecting Turkey to northeastern Syria remain closed, some for years, creating significant economic, social, and humanitarian consequences. The closures are rooted in political, military, and security complexities, making the issue one of the region\u2019s most sensitive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the eleven main crossings along the border, the ones in northeastern Syria under the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) include <\/span><b>Murshid Pinar <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">near Kobani in eastern Aleppo, <\/span><b>Ayn Diwar<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Al-Dirbasiya in northern Hasakah, and <\/span><b>Qamishli\u2013Nusaybin<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are also <\/span><b>Ceylanpinar<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, opposite Ras al-Ain, and <\/span><b>Ak\u00e7akale<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, opposite Tal Abyad in northern Raqqa. These last two crossings, controlled by factions of the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army, were reopened in 2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mohammad Hassan, head of the SDF\u2019s political office (MSD), told <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: \u201cWe continuously raise the issue of reopening the border crossings. Neighbouring countries emphasize coordination with Damascus. During the recent meetings of the Autonomous Administration delegation in Damascus, attended by U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack, we discussed Qamishli and Kobani crossings, but no agreement was reached with Damascus. Turkey raised no objections, provided there was coordination with the central government.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added: \u201cBorder crossings are generally linked to central authorities worldwide. After the Arab Spring, some regions opened humanitarian or economic crossings based on neighbouring countries\u2019 interests. This is what happened in Syria: several crossings opened with Turkey after opposition factions and ISIS controlled parts of the region.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Political analyst Hassan Al-Naifi, based in France, emphasized to <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that these crossings are part of a political process. \u201cAnkara will not formally reopen them until there is a final political agreement between the Syrian government and the SDF, making the crossings a political bargaining chip.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although many of the newer, non-essential crossings were initially used for humanitarian purposes and the return of displaced Syrians, the Turkish Interior Ministry transformed some into trade and import channels. For example, <\/span><b>Al-Ra\u2019i<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> crossing was later used by the UN to deliver aid after the devastating 2023 earthquake in northwestern Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hassan explained: \u201cTurkey opened informal crossings to advance its interests through local factions and strengthen its influence in Syria. Once the SDF took control, Turkey had no direct relations with them. The crossings previously open with opposition factions were never officially sanctioned by Damascus, they were based solely on shared interests.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack confirmed on August 29 that continuous talks were taking place between SDF General Commander Mazloum Abdi and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut \u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu, involving senior Turkish figures such as Intelligence Chief Hakan Fidan, and supported directly by President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan. Barrack described these meetings as \u201ca crucial step toward building trust between the parties, especially given the historically unstable border.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In early June, the SDF held direct talks with Turkey under U.S. mediation to discuss several issues, including prisons holding ISIS members. According to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Middle East Eye<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which cited informed sources, these discussions addressed the broader question of Syria\u2019s future, facilitated by Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spanning nearly 1,000 kilometers, the Syria-Turkey border hosts numerous crossing points.
