Erdogan: The veto cannot prevent sanctions
Turkey will impose its own sanctions on Syria despite the U.N. Security Council's failure to adopt a resolution that would have hinted at future international measures against Damascus, Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday.

Russia and China vetoed the European-drafted U.N. resolution on Tuesday, handing Syrian President Bashar Assad a diplomatic victory as his security forces pursue a violent crackdown on pro-democracy protests.

Speaking in South Africa, Erdogan lamented the failure of the resolution, but said it would not deter Turkey from launching its own sanctions against Assad's government. "Naturally the veto cannot prevent sanctions," Erdogan said. 

"We will of necessity implement a package of sanctions." Erdogan has said he will announce the package after he visits a Syrian refugee camp in Turkey in the next few days.
