In a statement, Zakharova commended the progress made so far, noting that "a very good foundation has been laid for dialogue."

Zakharova emphasized the importance of high-level discussions in advancing relations between the two neighboring countries. "We support the normalization of relations between the two countries," she stated, reaffirming Russia’s commitment to the process.

The spokesperson also highlighted the effectiveness of the Astana format, a platform that has been instrumental in facilitating discussions between Türkiye, Syria, and other involved parties. Zakharova stressed the need for continued dialogue and coordination to ensure the success of the normalization process.

The Russian government’s endorsement of Türkiye-Syria normalization comes at a time when regional stability and cooperation are increasingly in focus. Zakharova's remarks underscore Russia's role as a key mediator in the efforts to resolve long-standing tensions between the two countries. (ILKHA)
