TEHRAN (Iran News) – Veteran Turkish politician says President Recep Tayyab Erdogan should hold direct talks with the Syrian government if he wants to resolve Turkey’s security concerns permanently.

“We must ask ourselves that why Turkey is talking with the US and Russia [over the north Syria developments], but not with the Syrian government?” Dr. Osman Faruk Logoglu, a senior member of Turkey’s Republican People’s Party (CHP), said in an interview with BBC on Wednesday.

He pointed to Turkey’s emphasis on its commitment to “Syria’s independence and territorial integrity”, saying, “Syria is our neighbor and we should directly talk to them” to resolve the issues.

Logoglu noted that regional peace and security will be more beneficial to Turkey than Russia and the US.

Therefore, he added, Ankara should start talks with the Syrian government because other agreements, like the Turkey-Russia deal, will not resolve the security issues permanently and will only lead to renewing the truce.

He was referring to an agreement between Russia and Turkey that was implemented on Wednesday to ensure Kurdish forces withdraw from areas close to Syria’s border with Turkey and to launch joint patrols.

Turkey’s security concerns led to moving into northern Syria on October 9 after the US President, Donald Trump, pulled American troops out of the area.

Tens of thousands of people have fled their homes, amid growing international criticism of the attack.

]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – Republican and Democratic US senators asked the State Department Wednesday to quickly provide a visa so that the commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces could visit the United States to discuss the situation in the Arab country.

Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and Marsha Blackburn and Democrats Chris Van Hollen, Jeanne Shaheen and Richard Blumenthal wrote to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asking him to expedite a visa for the commander, General Mazloum Kobani, the Syrian Kurdish General.

“To say we are extremely concerned with the situation unfolding in northern Syria is an understatement,” they said in their letter, adding that it would benefit both Congress and President Donald Trump’s administration to hear from Kobani, Reuters reported.

Their request came hours after Trump announced that a ceasefire in northern Syria was now permanent and he lifted sanctions on Turkey as a result, rejecting criticism of his decision to pull out US troops that allowed Kurdish allies to come under attack from Turkey.

The lawmakers who sent the letter have been among the loudest voices in the US Congress lamenting Trump’s decision, which many see as abandoning Kurdish forces who fought for years alongside US troops in Syria.

For this reason US senator are worried about well being of Syrian Kurdish general.
