US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to visit to Turkey on Aug. 11 to adjudge talks centering on the Syrian crisis, which has recently arrived at the proportions of a civil war, and a number of other regional issues.
“Secretary Clinton will attend İstanbul for two-sided consultations with the Turkish government on Syria, as well as to cover other well timed issues,” spokeswoman Victoria Nuland explained on Sunday.
A Turkish diplomatic official, speaking on the circumstance of anonymity, declared that it would be a working visit to analyse various international and regional issues on which the United States and Turkey are collaborating, with an accent on Syria.
Clinton’s scheduled talks will build part of regenerated international attempts to tackle the intensifying crisis in Syria, where forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad are fighting to bring down a insurrection. The visit to Turkey will accompany Clinton’s current Africa tour taking her to Nigeria, Ghana and Benin next week.
Hopes for a resolution of the conflict in Syria have blinded since the UN-Arab League joint special envoy resigned from his post, baffled over the intensified civil war situation in Syria and paralysis of the United Nations Security Council over peace efforts.
On Friday, the United Nations General Assembly admitted a resolution with 133 votes accenting the need to format a transitional political process in the country, besides condemning severe and systematic human rights violations by the Syrian regime against the confrontation.
The resolution was collectively acquainted with the assembly by around 60 countries, including Turkey.
