[Rudaw] ![]() on Monday said that Ankara has not closed the door for talks with Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Lord of the Baath... but is unwilling to leave northern Syria. "Right now in Syria, Assad, unfortunately, wants ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... to leave northern Syria. Such a thing cannot happen," Erdogan said during a presser in Istanbul before departing on his planned Gulf tour. Since a deadly civil war erupted in Syria in 2011, Turkey has supported rebel forces attempting to overthrow Syrian President Bashir al-Assad’s regime and maintains a heavy military presence in northern Syria that fights both the Syrian army and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), to the ire of Damascus. "It is all about the way they approach us," Erdogan said, adding that Syria cannot request other countries inside its borders to withdraw while claiming that Turkey’s position there is to fight "terrorism" on its borders. Turkey also justifies its presence in Syria on the grounds of its desire to repatriate around four million Syrian refugees who have resided in Turkey since the onset of the civil war. Moreover, it has launched several military operations against Kurdish forces of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) — the backbone of the SDF and a force that Ankara views as the extension of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). Although Erdogan stated his readiness to hold talks with Assad, the latter set the withdrawal of the In May, a quadripartite meeting of foreign ministers of Syria, Turkey, Russia, and Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.

They hate in Moscow reached an agreement to prepare a roadmap to resolve issues between Ankara and Damascus. The meeting in May meeting marked the first official setting between foreign ministers of Syria and Turkey since the start of the Syrian civil war. |
