Damascus-Ankara normalization not bring peace – Ilham Ahmad 

QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Ilham Ahmad, President of the Executive Committee of the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), said on Monday that normalization between Syria and Turkey will not bring peace. However, it will deepen the crisis.

“Turkey has never supported Syrian revolution,” she tweeted, adding, “It used it [revolution] to serve its expansionist agendas based on colonialism and demographical changes.”   

“Turkey used Syrian refugees,” she said. 

The SDC president stressed that the “democratic and national opposition have to unify and play their role.”

Iranian Mehr news agency reported on Sunday that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin ask both Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad to participate in Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit (SCO) in Uzbekistan.

“The presidents of Syria and Turkey will probably meet on the sidelines of the meeting,” according to the Iranian news agency.
