ISTANBUL - Hürriyet Daily News
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad this week said the U.S. was responsible for his country's deteriorating relations with Ankara, according to reports. He accused Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of changing his attitude toward Syria.
“I've been asked what happened with Turkey [that would lead to such degrading of relations]. I did not change; it was your prime minister who changed. I am of the opinion that it was the U.S. who did not want a Turkish-Syrian friendship. Democracy is not their concern. The principal issue is [for them] to control our resources. [Officials] coming from Turkey behave like Obama's spokespeople. They come to me telling that Obama wants this or that. The U.S. maintains an ambassador in Damascus, they come and tell us [what they want] anyway. It saddens us to see our Turkish brothers repeating the same words,” Assad said, according to a report published by the daily Cumhuriyet.
Assad last month met with a delegation presided over by opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Deputy Leader Faruk Loğoğlu.
