Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Sunday that the Syrian government was not ready to reach an agreement and end the conflict with the Syrian opposition or normalize ties with Türkiye.
Türkiye wants the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad to establish a political framework with the opposition that they can agree on in an arena without conflict, he added.
It is important for the government to provide a secure and stable environment for its people, alongside the opposition, he stressed according to the Hürriyet daily.
"Real dialogue must take place with the Syrian opposition and we want Assad to reach an agreement with his opponents,” urged the FM.
“As far as we know, however, Assad and his partners are not ready to resolve some of the problems and are not ready to reach an agreement and normalize ties with the opposition,” he remarked.
