Syria's neighbours and other Arab states are trying to increase pressure on President Bashar Al-Assad's regime, in attempt to force the Syrian government to stop using violence against anti-government demonstrators.
Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz was quoted on Tuesday as saying that if Syria didn't change course, Turkey would consider cutting off electricity supplies to its southern neighbour.
What sanctions are already in place on Syria?
The Arab League suspended Syria's membership on 12 November and voted to approve economic sanctions. The detail of the sanctions was approved at a meeting of foreign ministers on 27 November. They include the freezing of Syrian government assets in Arab countries, stopping dealings with the Syrian central bank, the suspension of commercial flights to and from Syria, halting investment by Arab governments for projects in Syria, and a travel ban on senior officials. However, some Arab countries have questioned the feasibility of imposing these sanctions.
