Erdogan seeks to regrow relations with Syria, Egypt

(MENAFN) “There is no room for hard feelings in politics,” Erdogan stated at a summit in the central Konya district.

Talking about his latest gathering with his Egyptian fellow Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in Qatar, Erdogan stated that El-Sisi is "very happy" with this gathering and “we also conveyed the same wish.”

Also, he stated that "hopefully", the regularization process with Egypt is going to carry on at the governmental level.

“Recently, we experienced a problem in a 9-year period. We took this step that evening, especially with the intervention of Qatar’s emir. After overcoming that difficulty, we had a narrow-scoped meeting with El-Sisi for half an hour or 45 minutes,” according to Erdogan.

Describing the two presidents’ gathering in Qatar, Erdogan mentioned: "Now let our lower-level ministers start the talks, and then let us expand and develop our talks, all we care about is to remove this resentment between you (Egypt) and Türkiye. There should not be such a problem between Türkiye and Egypt in the Mediterranean."

He continued: “Now that the process has begun, a process will continue with our ministers. And then to come together in the Mediterranean, because the connections between the Egyptian people and Turkey are very different, we should not lose this power to others.”
