Turkish Foreign Minister AhmetDavutoglu on 12 May blamed the world community’s inaction on the Syrian conflict for the “barbarian act of terrorism” that claimed dozens of lives near the border in Turkey. “The latest attack shows how a spark transforms into a fire when the international community remains silent and the UN Security Council fails to act,” he said during a Berlin visit. He said it was time for the international community to take action against Syrian President Bashar Assad, with the security risks in Turkey and Syria’s other neighbours mounting. Turkish Prime Minister RecepTayyip Erdogan also charged that Syria was dragging his country down a “vile path” with attacks.
“They want to drag us down a vile path,” Erdogan said at a rally in Istanbul, urging Turks to be “vigilant… and level-headed in the face of each provocation aimed at drawing Turkey into the Syrian quagmire.”
