The Turkish government announced a new plan to extend its railway network into Syrian territory to reach the city of Aleppo, aiming to strengthen logistical links between the two countries and support goods transportation in the region. <\/p>\n\n
Turkish Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Abdulkadir \u00d6r\u00fclo\u011flu, stated that the project involves extending the current railway line within Turkey<\/a> to Aleppo as part of a broader plan to revive the historic Hejaz Railway, considered one of the region\u2019s most important transportation projects. <\/p>\n\n The minister explained that the proposed project requires funding of approximately $110 million, noting that the railway line between Aleppo and Damascus is already operational, which will facilitate connecting the Turkish network to the Syrian capital in the future. <\/p>\n\n He also revealed plans to restart the railway line between Turkey\u2019s Nusaybin and Syria\u2019s Qamishli, providing a direct land connection to both Syria and Iraq, as part of projects included in the Turkish government\u2019s agenda. <\/p>\n\nProject Details and Proposed Rail Connections in Turkey<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n
