Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that an election to be held in Syria would lack credibility.
Speaking at a joint press conference with the Azerbaijani President Ilham Alivey at the end of a meeting of the Turkey-Azerbaijan High Level Strategic Cooperation Council in Qabala, Erdogan stressed that "the results of an election to be held under non-credible circumstances in Syria was apparent."
"There is presently an atmosphere of a civil war in Syria. The result of a possible Syrian election under the present conditions is clear today," Erdogan noted.
"Elections in Syria may have no value unless the country moves into a healthy structure," Erdogan underlined.
