Turkey Gives "Ultimatum" to Damascus
(Hurriyet-Turkey) Murat Yetkin - A Turkish official told Hurriyet on Friday that a letter from Turkish President Gul to Syrian President Assad delivered by Turkish Foreign Minister Davutoglu on Tuesday was considered by Ankara as an "ultimatum" to Damascus that, if violence by Syrian troops continued, Assad would no longer be able to rely on Turkey's friendship. "If a regime is not listening to the advice of its friend and neighbor and continues opening fire on its own people, that regime can no longer be Turkey's friend," the source said.
