In a U-turn change of policy , Davutoglu warns foreign powers against intervention in Syria

 

TEHRAN -Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in surprising remarks warned foreign powers against intervention in Syria, saying the move would entail dire consequences for the region, according to FNA.

In a U-turn change of policy, the Turkish foreign minister underlined that his country doesn’t think that foreign intervention in Syria would benefit the regional states.

He made the remarks in a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in Tehran on Wednesday.

Davutoglu also said that Tehran and Ankara share similar viewpoints on fight against terrorism and extremism, and stressed the necessity of the two countries’ cooperation in the settlement of the regional problems.

The Turkish top diplomat also underlined the necessity for Iran’s participation in the Geneva II conference due to be held on January 22.

During the meeting, Rouhani repeated Iran’s stance on the necessity of stopping arrival of foreign terrorists in Syria, and said, “The Syrian issue has no military solution and the deadlock in the crisis in Syria should end through serious negotiations between the dissidents and the Syrian government.”

After the UN declared the date for the high-profile gathering, its envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said that the Geneva II conference on Syria, set for January 22, would start “without any preconditions”.

Iran has repeatedly announced that it would never accept any prerequisite for its participation in the conference, reminding that no regional crisis can be soothed or solved without the aid, views and cooperation of Iran as a regional power. In relevant remarks late September, President  Rouhani underlined that Tehran is ready to take part in the planned Geneva II conference on the Syrian crisis, but “without any preconditions”.

Iranian officials have repeatedly underlined that Tehran is in favor of negotiations between the Syrian government and “opposition” groups to create stability in Syria.
