Turkey opposes military intervention in Syria
Wednesday, March 7, 2012
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) -- The presidents of Turkey and Tunisia say they are opposed to outside military intervention in Syria, urging a diplomatic settlement to the bloodshed instead.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul says regional powers should try and find a solution for the crisis.
Turkey, which shares a long border with Syria, has been calling for an end to a crackdown by Syria's government troops, and is set to host a diplomatic conference on Syria's future.
At Gul's side after meeting Thursday, Tunisia's President Moncef Marzouki said, "arming insurgents and foreign intervention would only complicate the situation."
