"Turkey is very quiet on the issues of Syria ..."
Yep, just a few military exercises on the boarder. Nothing to worry about. With Iran's help Syrian forces will continue to kill scores of citizens. ; Russian and China will stick their head in the sand.

I am very interested about professor brings out Turkey on the equation. Turkey is very quiet on the issues of Syria when Turkey makes a lot of noises in the Libya. I think that Turkey starts to feel about pain of what happened in the Syria. Turkey has to come out some solutions for the Syria. Otherwise, Turkey will face serious hardship. T urkey does not have to bring out EU, NATO or U.S.A in to the case of Syria because Syria is not looked liked what happened in the Libya. &n bsp;

I agree with what professor said about military intervention an d economic sanctions to the Syria are not good for the country of Syria. It is not the best interest of the people of Syria wants to help from western countries. In addition, it is not helpful to the situation of what government of Syria faces in his country. Now, I know the reasons what make Saudi Arabia to feel threatened.
