Istanbul (AA) - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Wednesday addressed the Syrian opposition coalition which has been holding week-long talks in Istanbul.
Turkish diplomatic sources said Davutoglu made a speech at the opposition meeting in line with a joint request of the foreign ministers of 11 core member countries of "the Friends of Syria" group which held a meeting last week in Amman, Jordan.
Sources said that Davutoglu expressed full support by the Friends of Syria group to the opposition, saying that the group will respect decisions the opposition will take in unity and that it wanted to see concrete results from opposition's meetings as soon as possible.
On behalf of "Friend of Syria" group, Qatari Minister for Foreign Affairs Khalid al-Attiyah, US Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford and France's Ambassador to Syria Eric Chevallier also participated in the opposition's Istanbul meeting.
