Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expressed a willingness to restore diplomatic relations with Syria, indicating there is no obstacle to re-establishing ties that were severed at the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011. Erdogan stated that Turkey has no intention of interfering in Syria's internal affairs and is open to meeting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to facilitate the normalization process. Assad, however, has conditions for normalization, including Turkey's complete withdrawal from northern Syria. Russia and Iraq have been mentioned as potential mediators in the reconciliation efforts. A first step forward was the opening of a border crossing between Turkish- and regime-controlled areas in Syria.
