Blamed for Bloodshed in Syria
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in Ankara today that he
had warned his Iranian counterpart Ali Akbar Salehi “in a frank and friendly
manner” against blaming Turkey for violence in Syria. Salehi was visiting
Ankara yesterday after a visit to Damascus for talks with President Assad.
On Tuesday, Maj. Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi, the chairman of the General
Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, had blamed Turkey, alongside with Saudi
Arabia and Qatar, for the bloodshed in Syria. Turkey was incensed by
Firouzabadi’s comments.
"Such statements have the potential to harm Iran as well,"
Davutoglu told reporters. "We would expect these officials, both in Turkey
and Iran, to think a few times before making any comments. Our position on the
issue was explained to Mr Salehi in a frank and friendly manner,"
Davutoglu added.

Doesn't Turkey have bases where they arm the Syrian rebels? How can they disclaim responsibility?
the remarks of Firouzabado remark are highly irrational and they are damaging the image of Iran in the world; but then: it was the active policy of the Regime in the last years to damage and to degenerate the image of Iran in the world; those remarks were made after acknowledgement of the fact by (even) Ahmadinejad that Iran could be isolated in the region; but again thats the evil policy of the regime itself to bring that about ...
Either there are no rebels fighting in Syria or Turks are liars.
I do not see any fault in what Firouzabad said.
My friend,the regime damaged the image of Iran a long time ago.
Turkey angry??? My goodness!!!
Talk about hypocrisy..They're openly hosting Al-Qaeda on their soil and now wanting to lecture Iran...The nerve!!!
Turkey should look at their own internal problems before trying to revive their Ottoman dreams..
as the violence in Syria was the result of the Assad dictatorship murdering and torturing unarmed civilians peacefully demonstrating their demands for meaningful voting rights, responsibility for the violence rests with the Assad goons
How can you defend Assad's regime after thousands and thousands people have been killed? If you want to talk about hypocrisy, first you should think about people who lost their lives. People's lives more important than cheap power games. Iran's support for Assad's regime, helps to increase of casualties.
