By Hamish from Barnes - 20/03/17 -
Britain’s top diplomat to Syria, Mr Gareth Bayley, knows all about the terrible war that has ravished this Middle Eastern country for several years. Newsnuggets’ foreign correspondent in Turkey, Hamish, recently got a chance to ask Mr Bayley many important questions in an exclusive interview.
Here, Hamish tells us more about the background to his scoop:
I used to write for Newsnuggets until my family moved to Turkey, and I wanted to continue as a reporter from Istanbul. Since Syria borders to Turkey I wanted to learn more about the war there. I decided it would be good to interview Britain’s Special Representative to Syria who knows a lot about it. I also wanted to learn about the peace negotiations to stop the war in Syria.
