Turkey calls for action not words on Syria

An international action plan is needed to stop the "human tragedy" in Syria, Turkey's foreign minister said today after a UN Security Council statement calling for all sides to end violence, Hurriyet Daily News cites France-Presse as saying.
 
"In addition to a common message we also have to develop a joint plan of action," Ahmet Davutoğlu said after talks in Vienna with his Austrian counterpart ahead of an EU foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels that he will attend.

 
"We continue to think that Syria is playing for time and we must do something to stop this violence. In order for this human tragedy to end we must act together," Davutoğlu told a news conference.
