Qatar has said Arab states will seek to avert the threat of a reignited Syrian civil war by starting an open dialogue with all the forces on the ground, as the Turkish foreign minister said the formation of a new inclusive government in Damascus would allow millions of refugees to return home.

Both countries were backers of the Syrian opposition in the civil war that began in 2011, and they are likely to have a key role in aspects of Syria's future.
