Turkish FM calls for ‘new Syria’

Delivering a speech at a meeting of the Syrian Turkmen Assembly held in Turkey’s capital, Ankara, Cavusoglu promised to never forget the victims of the Syrian regime, the Democratic Union Party (PYD) or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

Cavusoglu: “A real political transition needs to be implemented for a new democratic Syria, based on the rule of law. Our aim is that our Turkmen brothers, who are an indispensable component of Syria, have their say in the administration of the country.”
