Syrian Presidents Bashar Assad and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan may hold a meeting in the presence of their Russian Leader Vladimir Putin after working together on a roadmap for the normalization of Syrian-Turkish relations.
Russian presidential envoy for the Syrian settlement Alexander Lavrentyev stated that the normalization process between Syria and Turkey “is developing month after month.”
“When the sides are through with this work, the presidents will be briefed on its results with an eye on organizing a meeting between Turkish leader Erdogan and Syrian leader Assad in the presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin,” Lavrentyev noted.
In the same vein, the Russian official indicated that Turkey had undertaken to move armed groups to a distance of six kilometers from the M-4 Hassakah-Aleppo highway and place Turkish checkpoints along the road.
“There are certain problems on this matter,” he said, adding that some problems are connected with the Turkish side’s relations with these armed groups in the region.
The diplomate added that they will not give up and continue to work to coordinate the positions of the Syrian and Turkish sides with the mediation of the Russian military.
“The situation might have been much better but for the United States’ military presence in Syria,” he affirmed. “American forces are plundering Syria’s resources to compensate for their expenses in this country.”
