Nusaybin-Qamishli border crossing to open in 3 months: Syrian official
The border crossing between Türkiye’s southeastern province of Mardin’s Nusaybin and the Syrian northeastern city of Qamishli, formerly under the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), is expected to reopen within three months, a senior Syrian official has said.
Ahmed al-Hilali, deputy governor of Hasakah and spokesperson for a presidential committee overseeing the implementation of the Jan. 29 integration agreement, inspected the site of the border crossing alongside a Syrian government delegation.
Al-Hilali said preparations could take up to three months to complete, adding that the reopening of the crossing would help revive trade between Türkiye and Iraq through Syrian territory.
He noted that demining operations, site clearance and engineering surveys are currently underway.
