“Turkey, who supported in 2011, speeches against President Bashar Assad, is now preparing to publicly declare his recognition and start work to build diplomatic, trade relations, as well as security cooperation,” the agency informs the agency .
“As a response, Turkish President Recep Erdogan would like Assad to not allow the Syrian Kurds to form an autonomous region in the north of Syria, which is now under the control of the Kurdish self -defense forces. This condition should become part of any agreement on the world,” they note interlocutors Bloomberg.
At the same time, the agency continues, Erdogan does not exclude the possibility and personal meeting with the president of Syria.
“We will meet as leaders of the countries, but time depends on how the situation will develop,” Bloomberg quotes his words.
