Syria between Turkey and Iran
On 09.08.2011, the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu visited Syria and met Syrian President Bashar al Assad and other senior officials in Damascus. The head of the Turkish diplomacy tried to convince the Syrian government to end use of force that led to over 1,600 people dead since protests broke out in the country five months ago. Ankara intends to monitor the behavior of the Syrian regime in the coming days. Syrian officials commented that while it would never cease to go after groups trying to destabilize the country, Damascus “is open to any help offered by friendly and brotherly states.”, a declaration clearly hinting to Iran.
