Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has aired fresh interest in a possible meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, as Ankara is doubling down on its threat for a ground operation against Syrian Kurdish groups.
"A meeting with Assad is possible. There is no resentment or bitterness in politics,” Erdogan was quoted as saying by Turkish media Wednesday at the Turkish parliament. “Sooner or later, we will take steps.”
