Azerbaijan, Baku, November 18 / Trend, A. Tagiyeva /
Turkey, which from the very beginning was against foreign interference with the events in Syria, will not interfere with the Syrian crisis alone, Ershad Hurmuzli, Adviser to the Turkish President for Middle East, told Trend on Friday.
'Turkey is not going to interfere with Syrian affairs alone", Hurmuzli reported by telephone from Ankara.
He said Ankara, anyway, is not supporter of foreign interference with Syria. Such interference seems possible only if international organizations make a respective decision.
Hurmuzli continued to say that Turkey negotiates with the Arab League and other international organizations to provide the necessary defense of Syrian civilians.
"Turkey's key objective in this issue is to defend civilians," he noted.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu stated yesterday that the ascending crisis in Syria may lead to civil war.
Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz reported earlier that if violence in Syria goes on Turkey may interrupt power supply to Syria and apply other economic sanctions against it.
Following the results of a meeting of the Arab League Foreign Ministers in Morocco yesterday, the League submitted its proposals envisioning work of a team of observers in the territory of Syria for consideration to official Damascus and expects it to reply within not later than 3 days. Syrian representatives did not attend the meeting.
At an extraordinary meeting of the Arab League Foreign Ministers held at the Leagues' Cairo Headquarters last Saturday, it was decided to suspend the Syrian delegation's participation in the League's work in connection with the continuing violence in the country. The Arab League urged its member states to recall their ambassadors from Damascus, and threatened to apply economic and political sanctions against Syria.
