Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday night that Syrian oil reserves in Qamishli and Deir Ezzor should be used to rebuild the war-ravaged country. Erdogan, who spoke to journalists accompanying him during a visit to Brussels to discuss the Idlib crisis, said that he had long proposed a safe zone to protect displaced Syrians but the offer had fallen on deaf ears.
