Lavrov: Turkey Ready to Discuss Withdrawal from Syria
In an interview with Russia Today, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Turkey is "prepared to discuss withdrawing troops from Syria," but that no agreement has been reached on specific terms.
According to TASS, Lavrov commented on the "normalization" process between Ankara and Damascus, noting that while Turkey is willing to discuss the withdrawal of its forces, specific conditions have not yet been agreed upon. Lavrov told Russia Today (RT), "The Turks are ready for this, but there is no consensus yet on the specific parameters."
Lavrov further explained, "We are discussing necessary measures to facilitate the return of refugees and combat the terrorist threat, which would make the presence of Turkish troops unnecessary. All these issues are being discussed."
What Did Assad Say?
Recently, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad stated that efforts to improve relations with Turkey have "so far yielded no tangible results." Speaking to the People's Assembly, Assad noted that Turkey’s withdrawal of troops is not a precondition for starting talks. Reiterating the condition of 'sovereignty,' Assad remarked:
"To restore a relationship, it is necessary first to eliminate the reasons that led to its destruction."
