Shaaban: Turkey Will Hear Stronger Statements from us When its FM Visits Damascus
Syrian President Bashar Assad’s advisor Buthaina Shaaban criticized on Sunday’s Turkey’s position on the developments in Syria, saying that its Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu will hear “stronger statements when he visits Syria.”
She said in a statement: “If the Turkish foreign minister believes that he is arriving in Syria to deliver a firm message, then he will hear a firmer message from us.”
She slammed Turkey’s stand on the unrest in Syria, noting that it “hasn’t even condemned the brutal crimes against the civilians, security forces, and army.”
Over the weekend, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that his country’s patience over the regime crackdown against protestors has ended, adding that Davutoglu will visit the Arab country on Tuesday to deliver a “firm message.”
