After heavy shelling of the city of Hama, Syrian tanks occupied Orontes Square on 03.08.2011
Turkey joined the international condemnation of Siria, with Deputy Prime Minister Arinc Bulent declaring that the attack of the Syrian forces on their own citizens in the city of Hama was an atrocity and the government that sanctioned such a brutality can not be called a friend.
The U.N. Security Council also condemned human rights violations and use of force against civilians by Syrian authorities in a statement adopted on 03.08.2011. Syria's neighbor Lebanon, where Damascus' influence is strong, disassociated itself from the statement agreed by the other 14 members of the council.
