Turkey's fm says Turkey can develop new initiatives regarding Syria

MUNICH (A.A) - February 6, 2012 - Turkey's foreign minister said on Sunday that Turkey could develop new initiatives regarding Syria. Ahmet Davutoglu said that Turkey would continue consultations with the Arab League regarding new initiatives about Syria. "The veto at the United Nations (UN) Security Council does not mean that everything has ended, and we will continue to draw attention of the international community. We may develop new initiatives," Davutoglu told Turkish reporters in Munich, Germany. Davutoglu said Syria's neighbors, including Turkey, were paying the price of the crisis Syria was causing, and defined Turkey and the Arab League as the first party of the issue.  "No country is more concerned about Syria than Turkey and the Arab League, and therefore we will maintain our cooperation with the Arab League," he said. Davutoglu said Turkey did not want polarization in its geography, and Turkey could be a part of neither a religious nor an ideological polarization. "We will do everything we can to end polarization," Davutoglu also said. Davutoglu met Kosovo's President and Tunisian Prime Minister, as well as foreign ministers of nine countries and a group of U.S. parliamentarians in Munich on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
