U.N. Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) General Secretary Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu was asked how he responded to comments that ''Turkey is the key in Syria” and that there are those who want to drag Turkey into Syria. İhsanoğlu said, ''Turkey is of great importance. In my view there can be no solution without Turkey because it is a neighbor, with the largest common frontier. We have important historic relations. There are family groups and people are all mixed up together on the border. Then the migration began. People fleeing the regime fled to Turkey.” İhsanoğlu went on to say, 'When Turkey’s political weight in the region and growing role in the international community are borne in mind, no solution without Turkey is possible.” |
