The Turkish army will leave Syrian territory in case of a political settlement of the conflict in the country, Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlut Cavusoglu said during his visit to Norway.
"If a political settlement in Syria is found, our army will leave it. However, now the [President Bashar al-Assad’s] regime does not believe in a political settlement," the NTV channel cited the minister as saying.
Cavusoglu also said that Russia has guaranteed to Turkey that the Syrian army will not attack Turkish observation posts in the Idlib Governorate. "Russia has assured us that the Syrian regime’s forces will not attack our observation posts in Idlib," the Milliyet newspaper cited him as saying.
