US Vice-President Joe Biden has said the US and Turkey are prepared to seek a military solution in Syria if a political agreement proves impossible.
Mr Biden said a political deal "would be better" but "if that's not possible" the US would pursue alternatives.
Mr Biden was speaking after talks in Istanbul with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
A US official said later Mr Biden's remarks did not imply any change to US policy on Syria.

If Turkey acts in Syria it will be to further Turkish national security interests. Not US national security interest.

Neocons in the US will be vexed.
