I am ready to meet with Erdogan if Turkish troops leave Syria.
Ednews reports that Syrian President Bashar Assad said this.
"As for the meeting with Erdogan, it depends on Turkiye's complete withdrawal of its army from the territory of Syria in a clear form and without any ambiguity, and the situation returning to the situation before the start of the war in Syria. This is the only option for my meeting with Erdogan. Besides, if such a meeting will not lead to final results for the war in Syria, why to organize it?" - Asad said.
According to him, Turkiye played a negative role in the war in Syria, supported the organizations considered by Damascus to be terrorists, and deployed its army into the Syrian territory:
"Turkiye is an occupying state for us."
