Ankara: Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish prime minister, criticised Syrian regime over its approach to reforms in the Arab country.
“I have not seen him (Assad) approach reforms with a democratic understanding,” Erdogan told reporters in the capital, Ankara, on Sunday.
The Turkish prime minister also stated that President Assad is taking “an autocratic approach” to the issues inside Syria. “I believe that it is very hard to achieve peace in Syria as long as this approach continues.”
Over the past few months, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have expressed support for arming the anti-Damascus rebels inside Syria, Press TV reported.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on March 4 that Ankara supports supplying arms to Syrian government’s rebels.
Earlier, Turkey and a number of Western countries have announced the expulsion of senior Syrian diplomats over the infamous and tragic Houla massacre, which still remains a mystery that who carried out the killings as both Syrian regime and the rebels have denied the charges.
