Ayatollah advises Turkey against stoking flames of Syria crisis

TEHRAN, Dec. 15 (MNA) – Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi advised Turkish officials on Wednesday not to fan embers of the Syria crisis. Makarem Shirazi said that the unrest engulfing Syria “is a conspiracy devised by the United States, Israel, and one of the Arab countries, and Turkey is feeding the flames of the crisis.” “Turkish officials stood in anti-Zionist line for a while to gain popularity, but this popularity will turn into disrepute, why do they not understand?”
