ANKARA
Speaking on private TV channel, Kanal 24, Prime Minister Erdogan said that the structuring in northern Syria could not be regarded as one of the Kurds.
"There is a structure (in northern Syria) which was built by terrorist organization PKK and the PYD. Such a structure involves sensitive balances. We need to evaluate such a structure. We can not just accept such a structure," Erdogan stressed.
"A structure in northern Syria for us means a structure of terror. It is impossible for us to look favorably at such a structure," Erdogan underlined.
"Our Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu will travel to northern Iraq next week. He will talk with officials there about the situation in northern Syria and our sensitivities," Erdogan also said.
Turkey hopes to see an end to tyranny in Syria
Erdogan also expressed that Turkey's hope was to see an end to the tyranny in Syria.
"I want to stress it very openly. We wish to see an end to the tyranny in Syria. As soon as the tyranny is over, our Syrian brothers and sisters would reach tranquility and prosperity," Erdogan stressed.
"Allegations that we approach the Assad regime based on sectarianism are not accurate. We have never accepted a world based on sectarianism. We have accepted a world based only on humanity," Erdogan said.
"Iran has lost all hopes on Syria. Russia declared on Wednesday that they would never approve the Syrian regime use chemical weapons," Erdogan stated.
"The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will hold a summit of heads of state in Mecca. Our President Abdullah Gul will attend the summit. We will do what we have to do as Turkey on Syria at the summit," Erdogan also said.
