Upon returning to Turkey after his overseas visits on July 5 and 7, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made statements to journalists on the plane. Erdoğan suggested that an invitation could be extended to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, indicating that positive steps from Assad towards mending relations would be reciprocated. The Presidential Communications Directorate also conveyed on July 7 that an invitation to Assad could be made at any time, with Russia and Iraq supporting this approach. However, the Assad regime did not reciprocate Erdoğan's sentiments.

Assad Regime Remains Unchanged
