Turkish authorities have rejected reports claiming that Türkiye hosted a meeting between Syrian government officials and representatives of the Lebanese group Hezbollah, according to the country's Center for Combating Disinformation, as reported by Anadolu Agency.
The center described the allegations as "entirely fabricated," according to the report, though it did not specify which outlets or sources originally circulated the claims.
The denial comes amid ongoing regional scrutiny of Hezbollah's role in Syria and Lebanon, as well as Turkey's broader diplomatic engagement with Damascus following years of strained relations during the Syrian civil war.
No further details were provided regarding the origin of the claims or any response from Syrian or Hezbollah officials.
