ISTANBUL — Turkey is ready to provide military support to Syria’s new government if it requests it, Defense Minister Yasar Guler says.
In comments reported by Turkish media, he says the new government, headed up by the Islamist-led rebels who overthrew Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad a week ago, should be given a chance and that Turkey is “ready to provide the necessary support if the new administration requests it.”
