Turkey has released 18 Syrian soldiers captured from the border city for the first time since the US military's struggle to evacuate Kurdish areas in northern Syria. Bashar al-Assad has warned that the war will be the only option if reliable results of political negotiations do not come to the rescue of Turkish forces from northern Syria.
President said he does not want to make Turkey an enemy.
The Syrian president's statement came during ongoing peace talks between Turkey and Russia. He said in an interview on Syria National TV channel that he does not want to make neighboring Turkey an enemy. Still, if Turkey does not withdraw its forces from the Syrian areas, if the talks are not concrete, then war will be inevitable. However, it is a matter of relief that due to the ongoing negotiations in Russia and Turkey, Turkey has released 18 Syrian soldiers who were captured from the city of Ras-al-An. Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said that two of the 18 are undergoing treatment at the hospital.
