Turkish President calls for restoration of ties with Syria
ANKARA — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated his willingness to restore ties with Syria and extended an “invitation” Sunday to bring back relations to “how they were in the past.”Over 12 years ago, diplomatic ties between Ankara and Damascus were cut off when protests turned into a civil war in Syria.
