"This contact now has a real chance to develop because of the Syrian civil war and its possible implications on both Israel and Turkey," he told SETimes, arguing that if Turkish-Israeli relations were good, then Syria would approach its relations with Turkey differently today.
"Taj kontakt sada ima stvarnu priliku za razvoj zbog građanskog rata u Siriji i mogućih implikacija za Izrael i Tursku", izjavio je za SETimes, dodajući kako bi Sirija danas imala drugačiji stav prema odnosima s Turskom da su tursko-izraelski odnosi dobri.
