UN Secretary General Mr. Ban Ki-moon will be soon arriving Turkey on a regional tour that focuses mainly upon the conflicts that are ongoing in Syria that have forced approx 200,000 Syrians to take refuge from the fighting across the border.
According to the schedules of his visit, the official will be visiting the refugee camps in the south and also he has a meeting fixed in Ankara with Prime Minister Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan as governments are still warning (unfortunately not seeing any effect) Damascus to not use chemical weapons against rebel forces.
Mr. Ban cleared in his recent statements that he wrote a letter to President Mr. Bashar al-Assad in which he openly warned him that the use of nuclear weapons could have serious consequences. He spoke about the issue in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Thursday, when he added that President Mr. Assad should be brought to justice if his regime used chemical weapons.
"I have warned that in any case, if chemical weapons is used, then whoever (it) may be will have to be brought to justice, and it will create serious consequences to those people", he said.
On the other hand, Nato has just approved the decision of deploying the Patriot anti-missile batteries along Turkey's border with Syria.
