Erdogan: We hope the advancement of opposition forces in Syria continues without issues
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the President of Turkey, expressed hope on Friday, December 6, that the advances of opposition rebels against Bashar al-Assad in Syria continue without any problems.
After Friday prayers, Erdogan, in a conversation with reporters, mentioned his approach towards Assad for a meeting and normalization of relations in early 2024 after more than a decade of hostility, stating that he has not yet received a positive response from him.
Ankara has been supporting Syrian opposition forces seeking the removal of Assad for years.
On Thursday, December 5, Syrian rebels captured the strategic city of Hama, marking a significant victory in a week-long lightning advance in northern Syria and a new devastating blow to Assad.
Turkey has announced that it had no involvement in this operation and did not support the rebels.
