Ankara has thrown its weight behind the uprising against the Syrian regime. "Of course, the Syria issue will be on the table, and it will be a top priority. We will discuss what we can do in the future and what steps we can take," said Tayyip Erdogan.
He played down suggestions that a revival of talks in Geneva, which aimed to create a transitional government for Syria, would bear results. "There are some political steps which need to be taken. However, the steps that were taken through the Geneva agreement did not bring a successful result," he continued. The meeting in America comes days after two car bombs tore through the Turkish border town of Reyhanli, killing 51 people. Ankara blamed Saturday's attack on a group with direct links to the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. It was the deadliest spillover of violence yet.
