Türkiye will work for the safe and voluntary return home of the Syrian migrants it hosts and will help in the reconstruction of Syria after President Bashar al-Assad's sudden ouster by rebels, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Monday.
Türkiye, which said it gave no support and had no involvement in the offensive by the Syrian opposition forces it has backed for years against Assad, said on Sunday it wanted the new Syrian administration to be inclusive and for Syrians to determine their own future.
In an address to the Turkish Ambassadors' Conference in Ankara, Fidan said Türkiye was ready to provide support for Syria's rebuilding and that it was coordinating with all "regional actors and parties".
"In the coming period, we want a Syria where different ethnic and religious groups live in an inclusive understanding of governance and in peace. We want to see a new Syria that has ties with its neighbours, that adds peace and stability to its region," he said. "We will continue our work to ensure the safe and voluntary return of Syrians and for the country's reconstruction," Fidan said.
