Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told local media on his return from the Russian city of Sochi that cooperation with

Turkey, Iran and Russia convened for a key summit in the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Nov. 22.

When asked whether Turkey and the Syrian regime could cooperate on the issue of the YPG, Erdogan said Turkey’s issue is not with Kurds, but with terrorist organizations, APA reports citing Hurriyet Daily News.

“Whatever happens tomorrow is based on the circumstances. It is not appropriate to have an understanding of saying ‘no way at all.’ The doors of politics are always open until the last moment,” he said.

Erdogan said there was “no such situation at the moment,” in regards to whether Turkey had initiated any contact with al-Assad or mediators.
