Turkish PM Hits Out at Russia

Says the Russian position on Syria has been stalling progress and that the Kremlin is ambivalent about the slaughter

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has openly slammed Russia over its stance on the Syrian conflict.

Erdogan has been one of the strongest opponents to the regime and spoke out in an interview on Turkish TV.

"Russia stands by the massacre in Syria, it's hardly raising its voice. I've liaised with Russian authorities and told them they shouldn't stand by Syria, but now that Russia stands by them China stands by them as well," he said.
