Newly arrived Syrian refugees are led by Turkish soldiers in a camp, in Boynuyogun, Turkey, Tuesday - A.P.
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan pressed Syria's Bashar Al-Assad to put an end to violence Tuesday, in the two leaders' first telephone conversation since their once-close relations appeared to sour a week ago.
The phone call came as Syria's military extended a crackdown to new cities and refugees continued to cross the country's northern border into Turkey. The number of Syrians in Turkish camps Tuesday afternoon was 8,500, Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Cemil Cicek said in televised remarks.
Mr. Cicek also said Syria's increasingly isolated leader had initiated the call to congratulate Mr. Erdogan after his victory in elections Sunday.
The two leaders have enjoyed a particularly close relationship, but Mr. Erdogan appeared to lose patience when refugees fled unrest in the town of Jisr Al-Shoghour, close to the Turkish border, just a week before the polls. He accused Damascus of savagery and of failing to listen.
On Tuesday, Mr. Erdogan told the Syrian leader to "refrain from violence and end the unrest," according to Turkey's official news agency, Anadolu Ajansi. He also told Mr. Assad to draw up and implement reforms, the agency said. Both are messages Mr. Erdogan has delivered before, and there was little sign Tuesday that Mr. Assad was responding.
As more and more restive towns are occupied by the Syrian Armies the more and more refugees are crossing into the Turkey!
