“Together with Iran and Russia, we continue to work on Syria in a quadripartite format,” he said, adding that the range of issues is large.

The diplomat noted that, of course, there are things that each of the parties cannot agree to, but the discussion continues.

According to him, Turkey expressed clear expectations about what it wants to see from Syria as part of the process of normalizing relations between Ankara and Damascus.

“First of all, these are concrete measures of the Syrian government that inspire confidence so that Syrian refugees can safely and safely return from Turkey to their homeland,
Why would President Assad care about them? They are not, after all, happy, trustworthy supporters of his government. His father’s response to a similar attitude was to wipe out Hama...
so that measures are taken against new waves of refugees in our direction,” he said, adding that Turkey also expects that the leadership of Syria will pay due attention to cooperation with Ankara in the fight against terrorism.

As reported by IA Regnum, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on September 1 that Moscow offered Syria and Turkey to return to an agreement allowing Turkish forces to fight terrorists on Syrian territory, but in agreement with Damascus.

The agreement assumed that there was a terrorist threat, and in order to stop it, Ankara would have the right, in agreement with Damascus, to send its anti-terrorist structures to a certain depth of Syrian territory, he recalled.

Turkey is negotiating with the Russian Federation and Syria on the return of Syrian refugees to Aleppo province. According to the channel, the plan, which will be implemented jointly by the Turkish Interior Ministry and the ruling Justice and Development Party, will eliminate the problems associated with illegal migration.

Earlier, Russian President's Special Representative for the Middle East and Africa, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said that the draft roadmap for the normalization of relations between Syria and Turkey, proposed by Russia, is ready.

Following the quadripartite meeting held in Moscow on May 10, the Foreign Ministers of Russia, Iran, Syria and Turkey instructed their deputies to develop a roadmap for normalizing relations between Syria and Turkey. It is necessary to move this process forward.

#1  Why would President Assad care about them? They are not, after all, happy, trustworthy supporters of his government.

Somebody's gotta work.
