Syria calls on PM Erdoğan to halt the violent repression of peaceful protests or resign

[FarCenter]

Syria gleefully turned the tables on Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan on June 1 over his response to Taksim Gezi Park demonstrations, calling on him to halt the violent repression of peaceful protests or resign.

Erdoğan, a former ally of Bashar al-Assad, turned against him after the Syrian president sought to crush largely peaceful protests which broke out in March 2011 and have since descended into a brutal civil war that has left at least 80,000 dead.

Syrian state television broadcast hours of live footage from Istanbul, where thousands of protesters clashed for a second day with riot police who fired teargas and water cannons.

At least the demonstrations should keep the Turkish government busy and not meddling in Syria.

1. Ha, ha, good one, Syria! Turkey had it coming.

Maybe you could set up armed camps for violent rebels against the repressive Erdogan.
