    Erdogan Warns both Syria and The New York Times

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a meeting with the
    executive editors board of The New York Times (NYT) during his US
    visit. Erdogan asked the NYT why it rejected the publication of a
    declaration prepared by 36 Turkish nongovernmental organizations
    (NGOs) against the Armenian genocide allegations and criticized the
    newspaper for its paradoxical and erroneous justifications.

    The editors had difficulty in answering Erdogan's question and
    announced that they would state their reply later. Erdogan also
    explained in an interview with the NYT that they have been
    implementing cautious pressure on Syria and emphasized that Turkey
    never approves of repressive regimes. The Prime Minister said: "If
    Damascus continues to shelter terrorists, it will remain isolated in
    the world."
