Syrian Presidency Denies Reports of Hezbollah Meetings in Turkey

Ahmad Mowaffaq Zaidan, the Syrian presidency’s adviser for media affairs, has categorically denied reports that meetings took place between the Syrian state and Hezbollah in Turkey.

The denial addressed claims that had recently circulated in some media circles about contacts between the two sides on Turkish soil.

Zaidan rejected the claim that such meetings had occurred. His response concerned the alleged talks in Turkey, rather than a broader statement on relations with Hezbollah.

The brief account of his denial provided no further details about the origins of the reports or the circumstances of the alleged meetings.
