Asad & Erdogan Likely To Meet In Third Country

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.

Even though Turkey is getting substantial financial assistance from the US and the EU, the country's tremendous refugee population has become a difficult issue, increasing political pressure and general anger.

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.

Millions of Syrians sought safety in Turkey after fleeing the fighting. Approximately 37.5 lakh Syrian refugees are currently housed in Turkey, placing a burden on the nation's resources and escalating public anger, therefore Recep Tayyip Erdoğan calling for immediate dialogue with Asad.
