Ecevit: Cant move back

       Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said that Turkey has entered a process in the Syria crisis where she can not move back.
       Ecevit said the following on the crisis with Syria:
       " Syria has passed the limit. The fact that the lack of authority in North Iraq has increased, increased Syria's effectiveness as a base for terrorists. She shelters them in her lands and provides them the training. The terrorists move from there to North Iraq, and then leak to Turkey making use of the lack of authority in North Iraq. It is time that Turkey said stop. We are carrying out this duty."
       Stating that the Iraq-Syria alliance is not important, Ecevit said:
       " Actually Turkey is the only country Iraq can trust in the region. There is no integrity as the Arab nation. But they claim that there is such integrity. The Arabian countries do not even want Filistin to be formed. Turkey is the one who supports the establishment of Filistin. "
       When reminded that the Arabian countries always criticise the closeness of Turkey-Israel, Ecevit said:
       " Turkey is the country that follows the most rational policy in the region. The other countries carry out irrational foreign policies at the region. Turkey did not make an agreement with Israel against the Arabian countries. What is more, this agreement can even be helpful for the establishment of Filistin. Filistin too will be a secular country."
