FRANKFURT, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Volkswagen  VOWG_p.DE  has
postponed its final decision to build a car plant in Turkey amid
international criticism of the country's military operation in
northern Syria and concerns about potential reputational
fallout, Handelsblatt reported on late on Monday.
    "We are observing the situation with great concern," a
company spokesman told the newspaper.
    Earlier this month, Volkswagen established a subsidiary in
Turkey's western Manisa province, while the company said that it
was still in the final stages of negotiation and that it had not
made a final decision on the factory.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL5N26N2DK
