Turkey would continue to work to end violent attacks against opposition groups in Syria.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met on Sunday in Istanbul ahead of a conference meeting of the Friends of Syria.
The meeting was held closed to the news media as diplomatic sources said Davutoglu and Clinton underlined that the Syrian regime must halt at once its deadly attacks on the opposition groups in the country.
Sources said the two top diplomats also discussed latest developments in Afghanistan, the ongoing Cyprus settlement talks, the Caucasus and the political situation in Iraq.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Sunday said Turkey would continue to work to end violent attacks against opposition groups in Syria and "the struggle for a brighter future" for the country.
"We are committed to extend all the support we could to end the bloodshed our Syrian brothers are subjected to and efforts to build a brighter future for Syria," Davutoglu said in his opening remarks for the Friends of Syrian People meeting in Istanbul.
The Istanbul meeting follows the first edition of the conference organized in Tunisia in February.
Davutoglu said since the first conference in Tunisia the Syrian regime had failed to listen to the calls to stop violence and kept on with its deadly attacks which according to UN estimates killed more than 9,000 thousand people in the year-long onslaught.
He said the participation to the Istanbul conference was higher than the Tunisia meeting, which he said had shown that the international community's support for the Syrian people had grown stronger.
