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.
Mada je Turska bila sporija od mnogih drugih zemalja u kritikovanju svog suseda, nedavne izjave premijera Redžepa Tajipa Erdogana i ministra inostranih poslova Ahmeta Davutoglua pokazuju da se stav zemlje prema sirijskom slamanju demonstracija učvršćuje.
