Arab authors, intellectuals extend support to Turkey

ISTANBUL

Authors from the Arab world and Muslim intellectuals have extended their support to Turkey, as the Syrian regime attack on Thursday night martyred 34 Turkish soldiers.

In a Twitter post, Nabil al-Awadi, a Kuwaiti Islamic intellectual, said: "Turkey plays a great role in defending Muslims all around the world."

He said he prays for security of Turkey and all Muslims in the world.

Jamal Sultan, an Egyptian author, said : "Those who follow foreign press reporting on the Arab world would realize that Turkey's economic and military abilities create anxiety. There are many who want to eradicate this power."
