Turkey’s PM: Let’s open a new page on Syria

Turkey expressed its desire to open a new dialogue with players in the Syrian war to resolve the ongoing crisis.

Speaking on Monday, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on Monday that “it is vital that, without losing more time, a new page is opened in Syria.”

Such a revised outlook has to be “based on a model involving particularly Turkey, Iran… Russia, the United States and even some [Persian] Gulf states and Saudi Arabia.”

Since the coup attempt in Turkey, the country has restored relations with Russia and enhanced its ties with Iran whilst increasingly coming at odds with the United States.
