After today's meeting -
Geneva II peace talks - the sides are defined between the Syrian regime
and the Syrian National Coalition.
MONTREUX, by Betul Yuruk

The
criticisms made against Turkey by the Syrian regime today on the first
day of Geneva II peace talks in the Swiss city of Montreux on Wednesday
are 'unacceptable', said Turkey's Foreign Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu.
Syrian
Foreign Minister Walid Muallem accused the Syrıan National Coalition
(SNC) of violations such as treason, looting and espionage and
accused Turkey of standing by the terrorists.
Davutoglu told Turkish reporters, following today's conference, that Muallem's speech had offended the soul of Geneva II by accusing other countries in an aggressive tone.
He said Syria's Assad regime's continuing massacre is probably the biggest crime of the 21st century.
"We would wish that the conference could have convened in a more positive atmosphere," he said.
"History will judge Syria's regime very badly," he said.
The minister called on the international community to act on photographs that appear to illustrate the regime's human rights abuses.

He said Syria's Assad regime's continuing massacre is probably the biggest crime of the 21st century.
"We would wish that the conference could have convened in a more positive atmosphere," he said.
- Praising Ahmed al-Jarba's speech, the head of the Syrıan National Coalition (SNC), the minister said it was not 'provocative'.
- Davutoglu reiterated that Syrian President Bashar-al Assad does not have the moral legitimacy to rule the country, let alone political legitimacy.
"History will judge Syria's regime very badly," he said.
- Davutoglu said Turkey would continue to operate an open-door policy wıth reference to around 700,000 Syrian refugees living in Turkey who have fled the country's ongoing civil war.
The minister called on the international community to act on photographs that appear to illustrate the regime's human rights abuses.
- The images - exclusively given to Anadolu Agency, CNN and UK's Guardian newspaper on Monday - appear to document the torture of 11,000 people by Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces.
- "Those who have committed war crimes must be held accountable," he added.
