DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – Syria on Tuesday dismissed the Turkish foreign minister’s comments about communications with the Damascus government on security issues, calling Ankara the “main sponsor” of terror groups wreaking havoc on the neighboring Arab country.
“The Syrian Arab Republic categorically denies the existence of any kind of communication or negotiations with the Turkish regime, especially in the field of combating terrorism,” an official source at Syria’s Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said in a statement carried by the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).
