Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Thursday an international action was needed in Syria in order to stop “human tragedy” there.

"In addition to a common message we also have to develop a joint plan of action," Davutoglu said after talks in Vienna with his Austrian counterpart ahead of an EU foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels that he will attend for the first time.

"We continue to think that Syria is playing for time and we must do something to stop this violence. In order for this human tragedy to end we must act together," Davutoglu told a news conference through an interpreter.
"Just making calls is not enough."

Davutoglu added that the Syrian government has “lost all legitimacy” and that Assad has “repeatedly failed to keep his word”.

"In Damascus in February we were promised that the violence and atrocities would stop, but since then more and more atrocities have taken place," he said.
"No government attacks its civilian population with weapons."
