Turkey

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that although Turkey has supported the Annan peace plan for Syria, it is “losing hope” about the crisis, given recent developments. He urged the UN to take more action, perhaps by boosting the number of UN observers in Syria. Erdogan denied reports that Turkey would support NATO military intervention in Syria. Turkey currently hosts nearly 23,000 Syrians in border camps. 1
