Turkey Aggravating Situation: Syria Foreign Ministry

“Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu continue to make provocative statements aimed at aggravating the situation in Syria and harming bilateral ties,” Makdisi said in a statement issued on Saturday.

“It is disturbing that Erdogan threatened to bring in NATO to protect its borders with Syria. This demonstrates a lack of a genuine commitment to the terms of the (Kofi) Annan plan and policies of good neighborliness.” On April 12, Erdogan said Turkey has “several options” in response to possible spillover effects of the conflict in Syria over the Syrian-Turkish border.'
