Turkey to open embassy in Syria tomorrow
Turkey will open an embassy in Syria shortly, after years of no diplomatic ties between the two countries.
Turkey's foreign minister said the embassy, in Damascus, would open tomorrow.
Relations between the countries were severed in March 2012, due to the Syrian civil war, with Turkey staunchly opposed to Bashar al Assad's regime.
In the intervening years, the country has taken in millions of Syrian refugees that were forced to flee.
