Turkey issues diplomatic note to Syria over mission attacks

The Turkish government has delivered a diplomatic note to the Syrian government concerning attacks by pro-regime Syrian protesters on its missions in the neighboring country in the wake of the Arab League's decision to suspend Damascus, Today's Zaman reported.

The Syrian charge d'affaires was summoned to the Turkish Foreign Ministry on Sunday and the note was delivered to him.

A crowd of around a thousand pro-Assad protestors attacked the Turkish embassy in Damascus on Saturday evening, throwing stones and bottles before Syrian police intervened to break up the protest.

Attacks were also staged against Turkey's consulate in Aleppo and its honorary consulate in Latakia, the Anatolia news agency reported Turkish embassy officials in Damascus as saying.

Turkish Foreign Ministry also issued a travel warning to Syria on Sunday and asked citizens to avoid non-essential trips.
