Council of Aleppo University decided to withdraw the honorary doctorate in international relations that the university awarded chairman of the Turkish Justice and Development Party Recep Tayyip Erdogan in 2009. The move came due to Erdogan's conspiring against the Syrian people and his arbitrary practices against the Turkish protestors. Rector of Aleppo University, Dr. Khodr al-Orfali said during the council's meeting on Monday that the move ''came in response to the growing demands of the Syrian universities' councils and the academic, student and public circles inside and outside Syria.'' ''Withdrawing the doctorate sends a vocal message of solidarity with the Turkish people who oppose Erdogan's hostile policies, '' al-Orfali said.
