トルコ首相:シリアは8月25日までに政治改革するように
トルコ首相10日の発言で、外相をシリアに派遣して伝えたメッセージの内容が「10~15日以内に政治改革するように」であることを明らかにした。今後シリア政府が発表する内容が大切だと付け加えた。(これ、露骨な内政干渉だろ。)
以下の記事は長いが、前後の話が書いてあるだけで、具体的なことは何も書かれていない。
正確にいつから数えて15日以内なのか不明だが、8月25日あたりが期限という意味だろうか。しきりに繰り返される「政治改革」が具体的に意味する措置も不明。
もし国民対話という意味ならば、それは(外国からせっつかれて発表したにせよ)シリア側が以前から公表していたスケジュールであり、新しい話題ではない。

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Wednesday that he hoped Syria would take steps towards reform within 10-15 days and that Ankara had given a clear message to Damascus to halt bloodshed from its brutal repression of pro-democracy protests.
Erdoğan, whose foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoğlu, visited Syria on Tuesday for talks with President Bashar al-Assad, said Turkish Ambassador to Damascus Ömer Önhon had visited the besieged city of Hama and reported back that tanks were leaving the city. “In Syria, the state is pointing guns at its own people,” Erdoğan said. “Turkey's message to Assad is very clear: Stop all kinds of violence and bloodshed,” he said at a meeting of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) in Ankara. He also reiterated the call for Damascus to meet the democracy demands of the Syrian people.
“We hope that within 10-15 days this will be realized and steps will be taken toward a reform process in Syria,” Erdoğan said.
The prime minister said that news of tanks leaving Hama, the scene of a fierce military crackdown this month in which human rights groups say up to 300 people were killed, showed that Turkey's efforts are generating positive outcomes.
Davutoğlu went to Damascus to press home earlier calls for an end to the military crackdown on mass street protests against 41 years of autocratic rule by the Assad family, which erupted five months ago and have spread to much of the country.
Davutoğlu met with Assad for more than six hours on Tuesday discussing the steps that Syria should take in order to stop the violence. He said after returning home that the actions Syria will take in the coming days will be significant. The siege of Hama, the scene of a 1982 massacre, had begun on the eve of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Speaking to reporters on his return to Turkey, Davutoğlu said the talks were cordial but did not say what specific steps they had discussed or whether Assad had agreed to consider them.
Davutoğlu did, however, say that the discussions in Damascus and the views conveyed to the Syrian side were not abstract, but they were specific and concrete.
“[Assad] also shared his convictions with us and we have concretely discussed some important steps that need to be taken. We will all together see what will happen in coming days. I don’t want to lead to an expectation and I don’t believe that it is right to create an expectation in this or that way. … [As] we are passing through a critical period … from now on, days are important, weeks are important; with the steps to be taken, the shape that the process will take will become clear,” Davutoğlu added.
On Wednesday, speaking only minutes after Erdoğan, Davutoğlu reiterated that Ambassador Önhon had confirmed that tanks and heavy artillery have been withdrawn from Hama.
Some members of the press were also allowed to visit Hama for the first time since the military offensive began, Davutoğlu said, noting that this was one of the pieces of advice he conveyed to al-Assad on Tuesday. Journalists of both Turkish and foreign media will travel to Hama in the coming days to provide coverage of the events taking place. Davutoğlu emphasized that media access to other Syrian cities is also important. He appeared satisfied with the measures Syria is now taking, noting that the Syrian government took a major step less than 24 hours after their talks in Damascus.
Turkey’s messages conveyed to Syria
Speaking to reporters upon his return from Damascus on Tuesday, Davutoğlu underlined that the messages he conveyed to al-Assad were those of Turkey and not any third party, dismissing charges at home that he had visited Syria on behalf of the US.
“I want to emphasize, as a matter of principle, that I only convey considerations by our president, the prime minister and the government,” Davutoğlu said when reminded of a phone conversation he had had with the US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, prior to his visit.
In Washington, State Department spokesman Mark Toner lauded Davutoğlu’s visit and reiterated that Clinton had spoken with the Turkish foreign minister on Sunday. “They did talk about the situation in Syria, you know, and we believe it’s another opportunity to send yet another strong message to Assad that this crackdown on peaceful protesters cannot stand,” Toner said on Monday.
Toner gave reporters an insight into the nature of the phone conversation, where he highlighted that the US had requested Turkey to “press Syria” for certain moves during Davutoğlu’s visit. Toner’s explanation included Clinton’s clarification of the US position that “Syria must immediately return its military to [the] barracks and release all prisoners of concern.” She had requested her Turkish counterpart “reinforce these messages with the Syrian government.”
