Syria–Turkey Normalization Talks Yield ‘No Results’: Assad

Turkiye continues to occupy territory in northern Syria and support mercenary groups to fight alongside its troops

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad stated that recent negotiations to restore relations between Syria and Turkiye have not brought any results, despite the mediation efforts of several allied countries.

“The initiatives did not yield any results worth mentioning despite the seriousness and genuine keenness of mediators,” Assad said on 26 August in a speech to the Syrian parliament, referring to recent conciliation efforts by Russia, Iran, and Iraq.

“The solution is openness,” Assad said. “Restoring a relationship requires first removing the causes that led to its destruction.”

“Syria constantly stresses the necessity of Turkiye’s withdrawal from the lands it occupies and stop its support for terrorism,” Assad said.

Turkiye is occupying large swathes of northern Syria under the pretext of battling the US-backed Kurdish militant group, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which itself occupies large parts of north and east Syria.
