Turkish FM says his country would support Arab Leagues's decision on Syria

KAYSERI (A.A) - January 22, 2012 - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Sunday said Turkey would support a decision from meeting of the Arab League scheduled for later today. "I would like to express that we will support the decisions from the critical meeting of the arab League this afternoon. We are in close consultations with the arab League but if the regional initiatives cannot produce results to end bloodshed in Syria, then it is only natural the issue becomes a humanitarian one which needs the international attention and the attention of the United Nations," Davutoglu told reporters in the central city of Konya.    Davutoglu said he had a telephone meeting with Arab League Secretary General Nabil Elaraby ahead of the meeting, adding the goal was to make sure that human rights violations and massacres in Syria came to an end.     "We hope the problem would not take such a dimension and the Syrian government stops this unjust fight against its own people. But if it does not and the humanitarian tragedy continues to prompt UN to step in we are ready to work with the UN," he said.  Davutoglu said he was scheduled to visit Russia on Tuesday for consultations over the Syrian issue.
