Assad: There will be no talks with Erdoğan so long as the Turkish troops are not withdrawn from the territory of Syria

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad ruled out the possibility
of talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan so long as the Turkish
troops are not withdrawn from the territory of Syria. The Syrian president said
this in his interview to Sky News Arabia.

current situation means recognition of Turkey’s occupation of the northern
regions of Syria,” Assad said. 

He accused Turkey of supporting terrorist groups
