The Ministers expressed their strong condemnation of the bombings in Reyhanli, Turkey on May 11, 2013. They expressed their solidarity with Turkey and conveyed their condolences for the victims and their families. The Turkish Foreign Minister, Ahmed Davutoglu briefed the ministers about the initial findings regarding the attack. The ministers warned against the dangers of a regional expansion of the conflict as a result of such attacks. In building on the core group Ministerial meeting in Istanbul April 20, 2013, the Ministers reaffirmed their conviction that it is a political solution that will end the bloody conflict in Syria. "Regrettably, it is the Syrian regime of President Bashar Al-Assad that has prevented this." The Ministers cited the Geneva communique of June 30, 2012 as the appropriate basis for the attainment of this solution if the legitimate aspiration of the Syrian people are met, and on the understanding that President Bashar Al-Assad, his Regime, and his associates with blood on their hands, have no place in the future of Syria. The ministers took note of the recent call by the Russian Federation and the United States for a meeting to discuss the full implementation of the Geneva Communique, and its stipulation to establish a transitional governing body in Syria with full executive authority. --MORE 15:45 LOCAL TIME 12:45 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1110215
