ANKARA (A.A) - June 14, 2011 - Turkish diplomats in the Middle East will gather in capital Ankara to discuss the latest developments in the region, labelled as the "Arab Spring", as well as the situation in Syria. 
During Monday's assessment meeting between Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, the head of Turkey's National Intelligence Agency (MIT), as well as Turkish ambassadors in Damascus and Beirut, it has been decided that Turkish ambassadors commissioned in the Middle East shall be summoned to Ankara to discuss the latest developments in the region, particularly the incidents in Syria.
Accordingly, Turkey's senior diplomats will gather in the Turkish capital on Wednesday to assess the recent developments, officials told AA on Tuesday.
