Jumblat Meets Davutoglu: Political Solution Will End Syria Crisis

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat stressed the need for exerting political and humanitarian efforts to end the crisis in Syria, announced the PSP in a statement on Thursday.

He said after holding talks with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in Turkey: “The political solution alone will end the Syrian regime’s violence” against protesters.

The MP’s talks in Turkey also focused on Lebanese and other regional developments.

Jumblat had traveled to Turkey on Wednesday on board a private jet.

The PSP leader had met with Davutoglu during the latter’s visit to Beirut in January.

The Lebanese official had stressed the importance of maintaining stability in Lebanon to avert any repercussions the Syrian crisis may have on the country.

Turkey “is keen not to allow the Syrian crisis slip into Lebanon,” Jumblat remarked.
