The United States and Turkey are in "full agreement" on the next steps on Syria as world leaders continue trying to stop the year-long massacre that has killed thousands.
U.S. President Barack Obama met with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday in South Korea, ahead of this week's nuclear summit in Seoul.
The meeting was aimed at "syncing up" with Turkey - a former Syrian ally - before Istanbul hosts the next "Friends of Syria" meeting on April 1, a senior Obama administration official said. A goal of that conference is to exert pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime for its brutal crackdown on civilians.
Obama and Erdogan expect the upcoming conference to enhance ways to provide "non-lethal" aid to the opponents of the Syrian regime, such as medical supplies and communications equipment, said Ben Rhodes, a U.S. deputy national security advisor.
"We cannot be spectators," Erdogan said Sunday.

Turkey had two significant earthquakes last year and didn't turned down any foreign aide. Some Europeans went anyway to help excavate the dead and injured. The second quake, unfortunately, caused a hotel to crumble killing foreign aid personnel as well as journalists. The Turkish people immediately started going through the bent collage of brick and concrete trying to save their friends.
You win more allies by being kind than you do by being judgemental.
It should read Turkey turned down offers of foreign...
Sorry.
@chrissy

Hope you are well, take care.
