ISTANBUL: Turkey’s prime minister suggested on Wednesday his country wants to normalise ties with Syria in what would mark an about-turn in policy amid a broad diplomatic offensive. Binali Yildirim said in a televised address on Wednesday that Turkey is expanding its circle of friends. The statement follows the restoration of diplomatic ties with Russia and Israel. Ankara cut ties with Syrian President Bashar Assad after an uprising erupted in 2011.
