Turkey enforces arms embargo against Syria

Turkish prime minister says Turkey has notified the Syrian government that it is enforcing an arms embargo against Syria and has stopped a Syrian-flagged ship.

 

Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday that if there are such shipments through the air or the land, then Turkey would also "stop and confiscate them, as in the past." Erdogan did not elaborate on the Syrian ship's status or when or where it was stopped. Turkish has slapped sanctions against Syria for its brutal crackdown on the country's uprising. (AP)
