Turkey is working for a political solution to the "devastating" crisis in Syria, the presidential communications director said on Wednesday.
"Turkey isn't just fighting all forms of terrorism in Syria. We are also working for a political solution to the devastating crisis next door," Fahrettin Altun said on Twitter.
"Syria’s territorial integrity and political stability are Turkey's key priorities. We will continue to work toward those goals," he added.
