Turkish President Abdullah Gul said on Monday that Turkey was more sensitive about its neighboring country, Syria, than the US regarding Obama's seeking authorization from Congress before launching any military action against the Syrian regime for the chemical weapons attacks on August 21 near Damascus which claimed more than 1300 lives. Gul during a ceremony at the presidential palace, answering a question on the varying polices of the US and Turkey on the Syrian crisis said that Obama's decision must be assessed in terms of the US's own political dynamics and domestic politics. Gul received Russia's Ambassador, Andrey G. Karlov, and Argentina's Ambassador, Juan Jose Arcuri, in Ankara.They presented their letters of credence to Gul.
