President Erdogan's use of the term "Mr." for Bashar Assad caught attention.

President Erdogan, who made statements after Friday prayers, stated that there is no reason not to reestablish relations with Syria. It did not go unnoticed that Erdogan used the term "Mr." for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during his speech.

"WE HAVE NO INTENTION TO INTERFERE IN THEIR INTERNAL AFFAIRS"

Erdogan stated in his statement, "There is no reason not to establish relations. Just as we developed these relations with Syria in the past, we will continue to act together in the same way. We have no intention, no goal to interfere in Syria's internal affairs. Because the Syrian people are a community with whom we live together as brotherly nations," he said.

HE USED THE TERM "MR."

In his continued words, Erdogan used the term "Mr." for Assad and said, "Just as we kept our relations with Syria very lively, as you know, we had these meetings with Mr. Assad, even to the point of family meetings. It is absolutely impossible for it not to happen tomorrow, it will happen again. We have no intention to interfere in Syria's internal affairs," he said.

WHAT DID ASSAD SAY?

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad also stated yesterday that his country is open to all initiatives aimed at improving relations with Turkey, as long as they are based on respect for Syria's sovereignty and the desire to reestablish the sovereignty of the Syrian state over all its territories.

ÖZGÜR ÖZEL SAID "I WILL GO TO SYRIA"

Republican People's Party leader Özgür Özel announced that he could go to Syria and meet with Bashar al-Assad regarding the issue of refugees, stating that they are looking for a dialogue platform to open channels of dialogue between Syria and Turkey: "If necessary, I will go to the first meeting with Assad. We are researching the ground for this. There are positive developments. We will announce it when the time comes. We are working on finding a ground. We will convey our clear demand for him to sit at a table and meet with Mr. Assad, whether it is facilitation, mediation, or the responsibility of the main opposition, we will do it. Because this problem will not be solved without sitting at the table. The conditions for the return of Syrian citizens in Turkey to Syria will be discussed. Of course, there is a political aspect to this. Assad needs to give certain guarantees. Turkey may need to put forward certain guarantees. We may offer some incentives."
