Erdogan: Resolution could be the same or slightly different
Speaking at a joint press conference in Ankara with his Romanian counterpart Victor Ponta, Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan said "The new resolution could be the same, but there might be some changes as well", explaining that work is under way for the extension of the resolution authorizing cross-border military operations, which will expire on October 4th. "The Foreign Ministry and the General Staff are now working on the resolution. Then, we will assess it and submit it to the Parliament," said Erdogan. Commenting on the car bomb explosion near a Turkey-Syria border crossing, Erdogan said "Syria's cruel regime takes this sort of actions. These have become routine incidents for Syria. I want you to know that Turkey is prepared for anything that may happen," He also mentioned that the dams on the Euphrates River have been damaged due to barrel bombs dropped in the region. "According to our sources, thousands of people are at the risk of being submerged into water," Erdogan said. Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta gave his support to Turkey's Syria policy. "We are on Turkey's side concerning the steps it has taken on the Syrian issue," Ponta said.
