Syrian government denies contact with Turkey

QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – On Friday, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the Syrian government denied the existence of any kind of contact with the Turkish regime, “as some of its officials claim, and that there can be no cooperation in the fight against terrorism with a terrorist regime”.

“This regime [Erdogan’s] is trying, as usual, to publish fabricated news alleging the existence of high-level contacts with the Syrian government at the political or security level,” state-run news agency SANA cited an official source at the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates.

“These lies were uttered by the Foreign minister of the Turkish regime about the possibility of cooperation with Syria in the fight against terrorism,” the source said.

“This confirms that this regime [Turkish] is in complete separation from the reality and the plague of lies and hypocrisy not only affected Erdogan but all the officials of his regime,” the source added. 

The source of the Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ministry stressed that Syria cannot cooperate in the fight against terrorism with a “terrorist regime” that supports, trains and spreads terrorism in the region and the world.
