Turkey announced it is preparing a new initiative with countries who oppose the Syrian government

Turkey announced it is preparing a new initiative with countries who oppose the Syrian government after the “fiasco” of UN resolution on Syria, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday.

“We are going to start a new initiative with those countries that stand by the people, not the Syrian government,” Erdogan told a meeting of his ruling AK Party in Ankara without elaborating.

"The process that occurred at the United Nations in relation to Syria is a fiasco for the civilized world," he said assuring that his government would utilize all diplomatic means to draw the world's attention to the Syrian crisis.
  
Erdogan said the veto power should be used responsibly without "giving green light to death." "The Syrian matter cannot be sacrificed to power struggle," he added.

Diplomatic sources told AFP that Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu is planning to fly to the United States on Wednesday and meet with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for further discussions on Syria.
