Istanbul, Jumada I 9, 1433, Apr 1, 2012, SPA - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan Sunday called for a "moral intervention" in Syria to end the escalating bloodshed. "We need a moral intervention, we must ensure our consciences prevail. No other concerns, no other interests must interfere," he said in his opening address to the Friends of the Syrian People conference in Istanbul. He urged participants: "It is crucial that we speak with one voice and give a precise message to the Syrian regime." "We must not let (Syrian President) Assad turn the Annan strategy into a time-saving strategy for himself," he was quoted as saying by DPA. --SPA 12:20 LOCAL TIME 09:20 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/984625
