Turkey has no political contacts with Syrian authorities at the moment, but Ankara remains open for such communication, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, after Russia, Turkey and Iran convened for a key summit in Russia's Sochi on Nov. 22.
"Whatever happens tomorrow is based on the circumstances. It is not appropriate to have an understanding of saying ‘no way at all.’ The doors of politics are always open until the last moment," Hurriyet Daily cited Erdogan as saying.
President Erdogan also said there was "no such situation at the moment," in regards to whether Turkey had initiated any contact with Syrian government or mediators.
