Turkish PM slams UN Security Council over Syria
ISTANBUL — Turkey's prime minister sharply criticized the U.N. Security Council on Saturday for its failure to agree on decisive steps to end the 19-month civil war in Syria.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan told an international conference in Istanbul that the world was witnessing a "humanitarian tragedy" in Syria.
"If we wait for one or two of the permanent members ... then the future of Syria will be in danger," said Erdogan, according to an official translator.
