Turkey reject news stories of deporting Syrians

Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that some news stories arguing a large number of Syrians were forcefully sent back to Syria after the incidents in Akcakale Camp yesterday did not reflect the reality. Answering a question on the incident, the Spokesperson for the Turkish MFA, Levent Gumrukcu said that Turkey provided security to more than 35,000 Syrians in Akcakale Camp. \"Around 200 Syrians attacked Turkish security forces on Wednesday with stones without a complaint or a demand at the Akcakale Camp,\" Gumrukcu underlined. \"Turkish security forces took the necessary measures to end the attack,\" Gumrukcu noted. \"Those Syrians who were not involved in the attack on Turkish security forces reacted fiercely against the group of Syrians who made the attack. Our security forces detected those involved in the attack after reviewing camera images. Around 130 Syrians, fearing reaction by other Syrians and facing legal action in Turkey, wanted to use their right to \'return to Syria voluntarily\' and were sent back after official procedures were completed. All news stories arguing that the Syrians were deported do not reflect the reality,\" Gumrukcu also said. MFA also rejected allegations Davutoglu signed secret agreements in Qatar MFA also stated that allegations on Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and his signing a series of secret agreements in a meeting in Qatar did not reflect the truth. MFA underlined that all statements made by the spokesperson of the Turkish main opposition party that Davutoglu signed a series of secret agreements in Doha, Qatar between November 8 and 11, 2012 did not reflect the truth in any way. The meeting in Doha was held to bring the Syrian opposition together under a single roof and its purpose was explained in a statement released on November 12, the MFA underlined. The Doha meeting had no secret dimension, the MFA also said.
