ANKARA (AA) – Turkey is working for a political solution to the “devastating ” crisis in Syria, the presidential communications director said on Wednesday.
“Turkey isn't just fighting all forms of terrorism in Syria. We are also working for a political solution to the devastating crisis next door, ” Fahrettin Altun said on Twitter.
“Syria’s territorial integrity and political stability are Turkey's key priorities. We will continue to work toward those goals, ” he added.
Altun's remarks came ahead of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit to Moscow, where he will meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
“President @RT_Erdogan will be in Moscow today to holds talks on regional issues, including the most recent developments in Syria, and the Turkish-Russian relations with President Putin, ” Altun said.
Syria has only just begun to emerge from a devastating conflict that began in 2011 when the Bashar al-Assad regime cracked down on demonstrators with unexpected severity.
