Turkey to discuss steps on Syria in Washington
Turkey's foreign minister says he will propose new ways to pressure Syria when he meets with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday. But at a press event Friday, Ahmet Davutoglu did not elaborate on what steps he would discuss with Clinton to force Syria to end violence against civilians.
He also told reporters that he believes from recent discussions with Iranian officials that Tehran is ready for new talks with the West on limiting its nuclear program. "I think this time Iran has seen that there is a need for negotiation," he said. "This time I am more optimistic." (AP)
