President Rouhani remarked that the “establishment of security in the northern Syrian and southern Turkish borders is possible only with the presence of the Syrian army and we must provide all grounds for the Syrian military presence in these areas”. He further contended that “the Americans must leave the region, and the Kurds should cooperate with the Syrian army, which is actually their own country”. Rouhani added that “we are in a position that we need peace in the region and the Syrian refugees must return to their country faster”, and urged Turkey to “pay more attention so that we do not face any new problems in the region”.
