“Our wish is for our neighbor, Syria, to find the peace and tranquility it has been dreaming of for 13 years”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said today that he “wishes” Syria, where rebels are trying to topple the regime of Bashar al-Assad, “finds the peace it has been dreaming of for 13 years” after the uprising was quelled in blood.
“Our wish is for our neighbor, Syria, to find the peace and tranquility it has been dreaming of for 13 years,” the Turkish president said, assuring that Syria was “tired of war, blood and tears.”
“Our Syrian brothers and sisters deserve freedom, security and peace in their homeland,” he stressed, stating that he hopes in the near future “to see a Syria where different identities coexist peacefully.”
Erdogan made the remarks in Gaziantep, a city in southeastern Turkey where hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees have taken refuge since the civil war broke out in 2011.
“There is now a new political and diplomatic reality in Syria,” he added, blaming Damascus for not taking “the hand extended to it by Turkey”, which has recently tried to reach out to the Syrian regime with the aim of repatriating a part of the 3 million refugees living on Turkish soil.
