Iraq has offered to serve as a mediator in a historic restart of ties between the Bashar al-Assad government and Turkey
A potential meeting between Asad and Erdogan
is expected to take place in a third country, the Turkish FM reported in a
statement on Thursday.
The Turkish foreign minister, Fidan underlined that al-Assad is willing to
meet with Erdogan without any constraints, telling the Sabah newspaper,
"If the meeting takes place, it will be held in a third country, but there
are no details so far."
The goal of the meeting would be to restore ruptured relationships and reestablish them as they were before 2011.
Emphasizing Turkiye's desire that Syria
initiate talks with the opposition, the minister added, "We want the Asad
to have a dialogue with the opposition so that they can start discussing ways
to fix challenges."
After the Turkish president insisted that both governments begin the process of normalization, the president of Syria told Erdogan that he would only schedule a meeting if it would be beneficial to Damascus.
