President Abdullah Gül criticizes world on Syria rhetoric

The international community has failed to contribute to efforts to help Syrian people and has only offered symbolic rhetoric, President Abdullah Gül said today during a visit to the border town of Reyhanlı following deadly May 11 bombings.

"Some 200,000 Syrian refugees are living in tents – Turkey is providing for them by itself. Many [Syrian citizens] are also living in our cities with the tolerance of our people. In Jordan alone there are 400,000 refugees. This is supremacy and grace that we are showing," Gül said.

"The international community must show more solidarity and must not approach with heroism and rhetoric. I must say the international community’s contribution to [the humanitarian crisis] has not been a step beyond symbolic [rhetoric]," Gül said.

Gül said Turkey would act responsibly and bring whoever was involved in the attack, which killed at least 52, to account.
