We Are Ready for That: Erdogan

The President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has expressed his willingness to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. He made this announcement during a press conference before heading to the United Nations General Assembly in the United States.

“We have already announced our desire to meet with Bashar al-Assad to regulate relations between Turkey and Syria. We expect a response from the Syrian side. We are ready for that. I believe that a new phase will begin from that meeting,” said the state leader.
