Sharing on his official Twitter account, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, "If the world turns a blind eye to the killing of tens of thousands of innocent people to further the regime’s interests, we will neither watch from the sidelines nor participate in such a game."

Remarking that Turkiye has been trying to stop the bloodshed in Syria since the crisis broke out, the President said, "Without discrimination, we rushed to the help of our Syrian brothers and sisters. Today, as in the past, we do not any of our Syrian brothers or sisters to suffer – even from a nosebleed."

Relating to the tripartite summit held in Tehran on Friday, Erdoğan said, "The importance we attach to today’s Turkiye-Russia-Iran trilateral summit, which my dear brother, Hassan Rouhani, hosted and my dear friend, Vladimir Putin, attended, reflects Turkiye’s care for the future of our Syrian brothers and sisters."

"We will neither watch from the sidelines nor participate in such a game"

"At today’s summit in Tehran, Turkiye clearly stated that resorting to methods, which disregard civilian lives, would only play into the hands of terrorists."

Erdoğan stated that they will neither watch from the sideline nor participate in a such a game even if the world turns a blind eye to the killing of tens of thousands of innocent people to further the regime’s interests.

"The Idlib question must be resolved in line with the spirit of Astana and without giving rise to pain, new tensions or more suffering. Upholding the principles, on which we agreed in Astana, is key to finding a sustainable political solution to the Syrian crisis as well"

"It is necessary to avoid any faits accomplis under the pretext of fighting terrorism and to resist separatist efforts that seek to undermine Syria’s territorial integrity and the national security of neighboring countries."
