ISTANBUL, Oct 4 (Reuters) – Syria has apologised through the

United Nations for the mortar strike which killed five civilians

in southeast Turkey on Wednesday and said such an incident would

not be repeated, Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay said on

Thursday.

“Syria accepts that it did it and apologises. They said

nothing like this will happen again. That’s good. The UN

mediated and spoke to Syria in the evening,” Atalay said.
