Turkey is pushing for direct talks between President Tayyip Erdogan and Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad to address border security and the return of more than three million Syrian refugees living in Turkey, according to opposition leader Hadi Al Bahra.
Ankara's determined move for reconciliation faces significant challenges, given the longstanding conflict and geopolitical complexities in the region. Bahra emphasized that while the talks are difficult and will take time, they are also meant to send clear diplomatic messages to the world.
Erdogan's recent appeal underscores the urgency of resolving the refugee crisis and achieving a political resolution. Despite the involvement of global powers and the region's volatile state, Bahra asserts that comprehensive political negotiations are crucial.
