Turkey: candidate of opposition party may talk with President Assad if elected


(MENAFN) Saying that he remained indifferent toward Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the presidential candidate of the main Turkish opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), Muharrem Ä°nce stated that the Turkish government should not act in anger against him.

When asked if Assad is a "red line" for him, Ä°nce said, "I don"t particularly feel sympathy or antipathy toward him. But there should be no room in the state administration to get angry [with anyone]. The one that rules Turkey should not act sentimentally."

Emphasizing the importance of elections under UN monitoring with the participation of Syrians abroad, Ä°nce said that Syria's territorial integrity should be preserved and a new constitution should be adopted.

According to Hurriyet Daily, "Syrians living in Turkey will happily return home after this structure is established," he said.
