Turkey FM: Assad perpetrates 'ethnic cleansing'
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has accused Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of resorting to a new strategy of “ethnic cleansing” to create a safe zone for his Alawite sect, in an interview published Wednesday.
“What concerned us about the Banias incident is that (Assad) has switched to a new strategy to reinstate influence by subjecting a certain area to ethnic cleansing,” Davutoglu told the Hurriyet newspaper. (AFP)
