Orhan Mirioglu, deputy of Turkey's ruling "Justice and Development" party, told "Ria Novosti," "The beginning of a new era in relations between Ankara and Damascus is very likely, but it is still too early to talk about comprehensive cooperation."
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan stated earlier that he does not rule out the settlement of relations with Syria shortly.
"It is tough to say that a process has started with Syria that answers all the questions; it seems that the Syrian side wants the negotiations to take place in a third country, which will most likely be Russia. Therefore it is too early to talk about comprehensive cooperation. It is also possible that the beginning of a new era in the relations between Damascus and Ankara will be before the elections. However, it is obvious that we are still far from the idea of "partnership," said the deputy.
