2018-12-17
[PRESSTV] Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says the Ankara government would consider working with Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

if he won a democratic and credible election.
Say as democratic and credible as Erdogan's...
The Ottoman Turkish foreign minister made the remarks while addressing the 18th edition of Doha Forum on Sunday.

Asked whether The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
would consider working with Assad, Cavusoglu said there must first be an election in Syria and "if it is a democratic and credible one, then everybody should consider that [working with Assad]."

"It has to be very credible, transparent, democratic and fair elections. At the end, Syrian people should decide who is going to rule the country after the elections," Cavusoglu added.

He further noted that the constitution for Syria should be drafted by the people of their own country.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Cavusoglu said he believed US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
was considering a policy of leaving Syria.

Syria's Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad demanded on November 4 that "occupation" forces from Turkey must leave, emphasizing that the troops must depart the territories of his conflict-plagued Arab country in order for security and stability to be restored there.
