Turkey urges UN support for inclusive Syrian administration

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Monday that Turkey expects international actors and the United Nations to back the Syrian people in establishing a comprehensive administration, reported Anadolu Agency.

Fidan emphasised that lasting peace in Syria can only be achieved through a national settlement amongst Syrian parties.

“A new era has begun in Syria, and now it is time to focus on the way forward,” Fidan said at the opening ceremony of the 15th Conference of Ambassadors, which is being held in the Turkish capital Ankara.

He expressed hope that Syria would become a country governed by an administration inclusive of all parties and ethnicities, fostering positive relations with its neighbours.

Fidan added that Ankara would work to ensure the safe return of Syrian refugees and continue efforts to rebuild Syria.
