Syria denies contacts with Turkey

Damascus, Sep 7 (Prensa Latina) The Syrian government on Tuesday denied statements recently made by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu about direct meetings planned with Syria to discuss security issues and the fight against terrorism.

We deny the existence of any kind of contact or negotiation with the Turkish government, which is one of the main governments sponsoring terrorism that Syria has faced since 2011, Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The text accuses Ankara of becoming a ‘reservoir of extremism’ that poses a threat to peace and stability in the region and the world.

The Syrian government has repeatedly denounced Turkey’s interference in its domestic affairs and accused it of occupying parts of its territory, as well as offering logistic support and refuge to radical groups operating against Syria.
