This release from Ulusal TV is an overview of the interview that took place at the presidential palace in Damascus with interviewers from Turkish Ulusal TV, the channel that will be airing the interview this coming Friday.

“Erdogan did not give any sincere statement since the crisis in Syria began,” Assad said in an interview with Turkey’s TV channel Ulusal Kanal. Excerpts from the interview were posted on Assad office’s YouTube channel on Wednesday. Station officials said the full interview will be broadcast Friday.

Assad also spoke to the channel’s newspaper, Aydinlik. Both media outlets are affiliated with Turkey’s Labor Party, which opposes Erdogan’s policies.
