Turkish PM: We Aim to Develop Good Relations with Syria, Iraq

Local Editor

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said Turkey aims to develop good relations with Syria and Iraq.

Yildirim's comments during a live broadcast on television on Wednesday came as he was speaking about the need for Turkey to boost its diplomatic ties in the region.

Iraq and Syria, Yildirim said, need to be stable for counter-terrorism efforts to succeed.

He further expressed that he was confident Turkey will normalize relations with Syria which is fighting militants supported by Ankara and other countries.

The apparent change of policy came in the wake of recent Turkish efforts to warm relations with Russia, a key supporter of the Syrian government.
