/> US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has arrived in Turkey for talks on the conflict in Syria.

She’s expected to meet Turkish leaders later today, to discuss preparations for a transition of power if the government of President Bashar al-Assad falls.

The meeting comes after the US slapped fresh sanctions on Assad’s regime and its allies.

Turkey, once a close ally of Syria, has become a vocal opponent of the regime since it launched a brutal crackdown on dissent.

It’s currently home to more than 50,000 refugees living in camps along the Syrian border.
