to reporters in New York over the weekend prior to addressing the UN
General Assembly, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu made remarks that
clearly indicated Ankara is not on the verge of a major policy change on
Syria, despite recent speculation to that effect. His statements also
suggested that Turkey will remain at odds with Washington and Moscow
over priorities in Syria and how to proceed with regard to the future of
President Bashar al-Assad.Davutoglu also admitted, in effect,
why Turkey had decided to take part in US-led airstrikes against the
Islamic State (IS), using words that indicate that Ankara's thinking had

with fighting IS.
Davutoglu also clarified Ankara's position on
whether Assad has any role to play in a settlement. A recent remark by
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan following his talks with Russian
President Vladimir Putin in Moscow were taken as a sign that Ankara may
be changing tack in this regard.
