Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan did not rule out the possibility of a meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

As reported by SKAI’s correspondent in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis, when asked by a journalist if there could be such a meeting, the Turkish president replied: “This can happen. In politics there is no permanent resentment and grudge. Sooner or later we will take the necessary and appropriate steps.”

At another point in his interview, Mr. Erdogan said: “They feel uncomfortable with the strengthening of Turkey’s regional leadership. They feel uncomfortable from the millennial presence of our nation in Anatolia. Moreover, they still don’t even see the need to hide all these annoyances, they say it openly.”

And he continued: “We experienced this when they prevented our full integration into the European Union. We experienced this in the F-35 crisis between us and the US. We experienced this in the demobilization and removal of our country’s air defense systems, while missiles rained down on our borders. We experienced this from the Cyprus issue to the energy agreements, in every discussion in the Mediterranean”.
