TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Turkish politician lambasted Prime Minister Recep Teyyip Erdogan for his interfering policies in Syria, and said such an approach will lead to civil war in the Muslim country.


"Prime Minister Erdogan's policy for changing the Syrian government will yield no result but exacerbating the bloody civil war in the country," Deputy Head of Turkey's National Movement Octay Uzturk told FNA on Sunday.

"Turkey alone is never able to infiltrate in Syria or change the country's ruling system," he added.

Turkey is among the countries that support militants inside Syria. Ankara provides military training for anti-Damascus militants along its borders with Syria.

In recent months, thousands of the Turkish people took to the streets in different cities to protest against their government's interference in Syria.

Demonstrators shouted anti-government slogans and held placards holding Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) responsible for a possible genocide in Syria.

The unrest in Syria began in March 2011.

The Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the militants are foreign nationals.

Militant groups, supported by certain western states and their regional allies, such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey have been trying to topple the Syrian government for over 2 years.
