Turkey to announce sanctions against Syria

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that his government is soon to announce sanctions against Syria. "We can no longer remain spectator to the developments in Syria," Erdogan said. "There are serious deaths of innocent, defenseless people. We cannot say this should continue," Erdogan was quoted as saying by the Turkish (Anatolia) news agency. The Turkish prime minister, whose remarks came on an official visit to South Africa, said he would this weekend or next week visit the camps of Hatay, near the Syrian border, where thousands of Syrians have taken refuge. "We’ll announce a roadmap regarding sanctions after a visit to Hatay," Erdogan said
