Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan said he can never rule out dialogue and diplomacy with Syria, a neighbouring country in which it has carried out several incursions in recent years, according to a transcript of his comments to reporters.
Asked about potential talks with Damascus, he was quoted as saying diplomacy between states can never be fully severed, taking what appeared to be a softer tone than his previous comments. There is a "need to take further steps with Syria," Erdogan also said.
