ANKARA (A.A) - August 10, 2011 - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has informed some of his counterparts on his meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. 
Diplomatic sources said that Turkish Foreign Minister held telephone talks with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, Brazilian Foreign Minister Antonio de Aguiar Patriota and Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh. 
He is also expected to hold phone talks with his British counterpart William Hague and the Arab League Secretary-General Nabil al-Arabi.
Earlier on Tuesday, Davutoglu traveled to Damascus to meet Syrian President al-Assad. Davutoglu told reporters after returning to Ankara that he passed to Assad a letter from President Abdullah Gul and relayed the messages of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan during a six and a half our meeting in Damascus.       
"Our priority is to devise a way to end bloodshed in Syria. Our only goal is to secure an environment where all Syrian people regardless of their ethnic or religious backgrounds could live in peace. We will continue to watch developments in Syria very closely. We hope that coming days and weeks will prove successful in maintaining peace and stability in the country with steps to secure political reforms that would meet the will of the Syrian people," he said.
