Ankara, Sep 16 () - Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan has leveled an unveiled criticism at Russia for its continued military assistance of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, while indirectly calling on European leaders to initiate an administrative change in the neighboring country, which he said would also constitute a substantial resolution for the growing refugee crisis.
“While it is clearly obvious that the problem in Syria is a regime problem and a problem of the regime’s oppression on its own people, looking at the matter from the aspect of balances of international powers and political estimations would dry up consciences” Erdoğan said in a speech delivered on Sept. 16.
In a speech delivered at an international ombudsman symposium held in the capital city of Ankara, Erdoğan called on European leaders and made clear the refugees flocking into their countries actually want to return to their home countries.
