Turkey on Friday slapped an arms embargo against Syria for its brutal crackdown on the country's uprising, and has stopped a Syrian-flagged ship, the prime minister said.
"If there are planes carrying weapons, or such shipments by land, then we would stop and confiscate them as in the past," the state-run Anatolia news agency quoted Recep Tayyip Erdogan as saying.
Erdogan did not say when or where the Syrian ship was stopped and whether any weapons were found aboard it.
