Davutoglu: "Turkey cannot remain indifferent to Syrian army's operations against civilians"

While making a fresh call for Syria to halt military operations in a crackdown on widespread demonstrations seeking the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said yesterday that Turkey does not want any foreign intervention in Syria, adding however, that Syrian army's operations against civilians are not acceptable. "The military operations have to stop," Davutoglu said at a joint news conference following a bilateral meeting with his Jordanian counterpart Nasser Judeh, which was held on the sidelines of an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) that discussed ways to help famine and drought-stricken Africa. "If the operations continue in Syria and the operations become a regional problem, Turkey cannot remain indifferent," said Davutoglu, stating that it is an issue that concerns Turkey’s stability.
