"The situation is no longer sustainable," Alain Juppe told reporters during an official visit to Ankara.

"It is not normal that the [United Nations] Security Council has not made any decision so far," he said. "I hope those blocking any resolution will be aware of the reality of the situation."
Russia and China, which hold veto power on the council, have clearly indicated they would block global sanctions against Syria. The regime of Bashar al-Assad has however been hit by European Union sanctions.
Speaking alongside Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, he said he doubted that Syria would respond positively to an Arab League peace plan proposal. The regional body earlier this week suspended Syria because of its brutal repression of its civilians.

As a first step towards sanctions at the UN, France, Britain and Germany plan to ask the UN General Assembly's human rights committee to approve a resolution condemning the violence in Syria, before putting the non-binding measure to a vote in an Assembly plenary session.

Syria's opposition has meanwhile urged Turkey to mount a military operation to protect civilians from Mr Assad's security forces, as Russia warned that the fighting in the country was now akin to a "civil war".

Representatives from dissidents groups submitted a formal request to Turkey for troops to be sent across the border to create a haven for civilians and rebels fighting Mr Assad's regime, according to a Turkish newspaper with close links to the government in Ankara.

The Turkish administration has already provided shelter to the Syrian Free Army, an increasingly potent rebel force, on its side of the border, but has long denied having any intention of forming a buffer zone within Syrian territory itself.

Despite the risks of being drawn into a regional war with its neighbour, Turkey is considering the request and could take action if it received backing from the United Nations and the Arab League, the Sabah newspaper quoted officials as saying.

Stepping up the pressure on Ankara, Islamists within the Syrian opposition indicated yesterday that they could ask Turkey to broaden its mission by imposing a no-fly zone across the country.
"If the international community procrastinates, then more is required from Turkey as a neighbour to be more serious than other countries," Mohammed Riad Shaqfa, an exiled leader of Syria's Muslim Brotherhood, said in Istanbul.

"If other interventions are required, such as air protection, because of the regime's intransigence, then the people will accept Turkish intervention. They do not want Western intervention.".........
