Statement by Turkish PM Erdogan: "Syria is living through a very grave phase; and regretfully We see many sides in the world supporting this injustice. Killing one single person is tantamount to killing all humanity. I regret to say that the Syrian regime is killing hundreds if not thousands of its own people. I reckon all of them are martyrs, simply for the reason that the regime killing them is not based on the the will of the people, yet using its massive military force to muzzle his people, rather than realizing their aspirations.
We have been friends with the Syria regime over 9 years; yet this regime does not appreciate it and dashed this friendly amicable relation; despite our repeated advice. The regime is still oppressing its people in Hammah, Homs, Deir Azzor and Deraa, it is a legacy I believe he (Bashar) has inherited from his father. We cannot remain silent for ever; we must take a stance. I believe the Syrian people will achieve the goals of their glorious revolution and struggle sooner or later."
