Though Turkey was slower than many other countries to criticise its neighbour, recent statements by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu show a hardening of the country's position in response to the Syrian crackdown.
Iako je Turska bila sporija od mnogih drugih zemalja u kritiziranju svojeg susjeda, nedavne izjave premijera Recepa Tayyipa Erdogana i ministra vanjskih poslova Ahmeta Davutoglua pokazuju da se stajalište zemlje prema sirijskom gušenju prosvjeda učvršćuje.
