Turkey says it wants to build an international coalition to make Syria stop its onslaught on opposition strongholds like the city of Homs. The Turkish foreign minister said his government was ready to host an international conference. Sebastian Usher reports.
土耳其称,希望建立国际联盟,阻止叙利亚对诸如胡姆斯之类的反对派据点进行袭击。土耳其外长称,土政府准备主持一次国际会议。Sebastian Usher报道。
International diplomatic efforts on Syria hit a major roadblock with the veto by Russia and China of a UN Security Council resolution on Saturday. But with the images of death and destruction from Homs in recent days, calls for international action to stop the killing have only grown more urgent. Turkey is now trying to keep up the pressure on President Assad. The Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has proposed an international conference hosted by Turkey, saying that if the UN Security Council can't protect civilians, then like-minded countries should get together to do so. He's now heading to the US for talks although it's not clear what new plan of action Turkey is advocating.
由于周六俄罗斯和中国对联合国安理会决议表示否决,国际上各国希望通过外交手段解决叙利亚问题的努力遭受阻碍。然而,看到胡姆斯几天来的死亡和毁灭惨状,要求国际上采取行动制止杀戮的呼声越来越高。土耳其目前就希望对阿萨德总统施压,外长Ahmet Davutoglu提议由土耳其主持召开国际会议,他说,如果联合国安理会不能保护平民,志同道合的国家应该联合起来保护他们。Davutoglu现已奔赴美国进行对话,尽管尚不清楚土耳其将支持何种新行动。
