Turkish PM Yildirim is ‘sure we will normalize relations with Syria’
Araz News: Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, who assumed his position in May, on Wednesday said he wants to develop “good relations” with Iraq and Syria for the success of counter-terrorism efforts.
Turkey has long advocated for the removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime to promote a stable Syria and regional peace. Yildirim’s comments advocating improved relations does not change that policy, according to Turkish officials.
Since May, Turkey has worked to “increase its friends and decrease its enemies,” Yildirim said during a televised address on Wednesday. Turkey in June announced the restoration of diplomatic ties with Israel after a six-year hiatus and apologizedfor shooting down a Russian plane on the shared border between Syria and Turkey in November 2015.
