The head of Turkey's main opposition party has accused the government of allowing the country's soil to be used for training Syrian armed groups.

"Is it appropriate for Turkey to use its soil for training armed forces with the aim of creating unrest in another country?" Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the head of Republican People's Party (CHP), told reporters in Ankara on Thursday, Press TV reported. 

"While we have lots of problems ourselves, why do we meddle in the internal affairs of another country?" he added. 

His remarks came after Turkey's Taraf daily reported that Ankara was establishing a 'buffer zone' in Syria to provide Syrian rebels with shelter. 

"We say 'Great Turkey', 'Powerful Turkey'. Can a great and powerful Turkey use its soil to support an armed force with the aim of meddling in another country? Is such an understanding possible?" Kilicdaroglu questioned. 

"What if tomorrow another country begins training armed forces in its soil against Turkey and begins interfering in our affairs? This is wrong. This not appropriate for the future of Turkey," he argued. 

The official also accused the Turkish government of having turned into a contractor for the 'dominant powers.' 

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March, with demonstrations being held both against and in support of President Bashar al-Assad. 

Hundreds of people, including many members of the security forces, have been killed in the unrest. 

The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deadly violence, saying that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad. 

The opposition and Western countries accuse the Syrian security forces of being behind the killings. Damascus strongly rejects the claim, asserting that the security forces have been given clear instructions not to harm civilians. 

In September, the Syria Steps news website said Syrian cyber specialists had uncovered an anti-Damascus agreement struck between Turkey and France. 

In line with the deal, Turkey would facilitate implementation of France's strategic plans in the Middle East, especially in Syria, Israel, and Lebanon. 

The report noted that, in line with the accord, Ankara would help deposing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by reinforcing the Syrian opposition among other things. Paris would instead ease Turkey's accession to the European Union before the end of 2012.
