Turkey welcomed the formation of a transitional government in Syria, the Foreign Ministry said on Sunday, adding the move was a sign that Syria's new rulers had an inclusive approach to the leadership of the country.
The ministry said in a statement that the international community needed to increase efforts to support Syria, including by fully lifting sanctions so rebuilding could start.
It said Turkey, one of the main power brokers in Syria following former President Bashar al-Assad's toppling by rebels, would continue supporting the "comprehensive and inclusive" transition period.
