President Al-Assad Meets CHP Delegation

DAMASCUS, (ST) – President Bashar Al-Assad on Thursday underlined the necessity of differentiating between the Turkish people’s supportive stances towards Syria and those of Erdogan’s government which keeps supporting terrorism, extremism and destabilization efforts in Syria and the entire region.

During his meeting with a Turkish parliamentary delegation representing the Republican People’s Party (Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi CHP) led by Hasan Akgol, President Al-Assad affirmed that the Syrian people appreciate the stances of the Turkish people’s forces and parties which reject Erdogan’s government’s policies as they negatively affect the ethnic and religious diversity which characterize societies of the region’s countries, particularly Syria and Turkey.

 Talks during the meeting dealt with the situation in Syria. Members of the guest delegation affirmed the Turkish people’s rejection of interference in the Syrian internal affairs. They also expressed their keenness to enhance good neighborhood ties, warning of the repercussions of the crisis in Syria on the Turkish internal situation in particular and on the whole region in general.
