Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expressed a willingness to restore diplomatic relations with Syria. Erdogan stated that there is no reason not to establish relations with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and emphasized that Turkey has no intention of interfering in Syria's internal affairs. Erdogan hinted at the possibility of meeting Assad to help restore bilateral relations, similar to past interactions between the two leaders. Syrian President Bashar Assad also indicated openness to initiatives aimed at improving relations with Turkey, provided they respect Syrian sovereignty. The recent opening of a border crossing between Turkish- and regime-controlled areas in Syria marks a step towards normalization of ties. Russia is reportedly mediating between the two sides. Erdogan made these remarks on Friday, acknowledging that there is a long road ahead.
