'Hesitant Turkish sanctions aimed at Syria'

Via FLC

"... The soft belly of the Syrian economy is the energy sector, and sanctions against petrol exports out of Syria have already begun. In order for the economic sanctions to prove successful, it is very important that Turkey participates. But thoughts are now focused on economic sanctions that would penalize only the leadership, and not the people of Syria. In addition to all this, it is important to keep in mind that Syria is Turkey's door to overland routes into the Middle East. Trade done by Turkey via roadways into the Middle East all done through Syria, which is why Turkey is taking hesitant steps when it comes to economic sanctions aimed at Syria...."
