"Turkey pursues the developments with concern and sorrow and assesses what it could do on the matter," Davutoğlu said at a news conference with UAE's Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdallah bin Zayid al-Nuhayyan in Ciragan Palace in Istanbul.

Asked about initiatives of Turkey to stop the incidents in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, Davutoğlu said, "Turkey has rooted ties with China and Uighur Turks. More than 150 people lost their lives and more than 800 people were injured. Turkey's Foreign Ministry made a statement on Monday and wanted perpetrators to be found as soon as possible."

Davutoğlu said Turkey's diplomatic initiatives continued.
