Turkey tells Syria to stop letting hard boyz into Iraq
Turkey on Friday warned Syria it would face mounting international pressure unless it took steps to enact âmore seriousâ measures to prevent foreign militants from entering Iraq, a top Turkish diplomat said.
The message was conveyed to Syriaâs Deputy Foreign Minister Walid Muallem, who met Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul here as part of diplomatic efforts by Damascus to convince the international community that it is working in earnest to prevent the infiltrations.
âWe told him (Muallem) that they should do their best and that otherwise they would be in trouble since they have no credibility in the West,â the diplomat told AFP.
âTurkey also expects Syria to take more serious measures,â he added.
