After a surprise meeting between the defense chiefs of Turkey and Syria in Moscow, Ankara indicated Thursday that Turkish-Syrian talks would continue in 2023 with a focus on joint efforts to combat terror groups and the return of Syrian refugees to their country.
The next step would be a meeting between foreign ministers, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told journalists at a year-end presser in Ankara. He said that a meeting date is not yet set, though sources in Ankara say it is to take place early in 2023.
