Syrian leadership owes an unconditional apology to Turkey and would urge Bashr al Asad to tender such an apology sooner the better and avoid taking any hostile action that could endanger peace in the region.

I think no west's statesman are not concerned about their people and humanity...they are just concerned about their position for example Obama and europe's governments...all of them are plaything of satanic regimes like zionism...We will answer to them... also Russia and must be careful about plans of the zionism and devil...DOWN WITH zionism

I would just love to no one thing and thats why has bashar al-assad not been issued an arrest warrent by the international criminal court [ICC] ,  gaddaffi his son saif and brother-in-law abdullah senussi  got warrents made up for them on the 27 june and them lot have not done as much by far as what bashar al- assad and his main men have done, it proves that the icc only bother with africa the head man of the icc should be put on trail and asked why he gets to play god and pick and choose the countries that the icc get involved in.
--------- -------------------- ------------------Yo u gotta love the one sidedness, if you actually knew what the leaders were like then you would change your tune, gadaffi was a tryant at first, he then started to look after his people, Libya did NOT attack anyone, Syria is not attacking anyone (except the terrorists), Iran is not attacking anyone, yet the west is attacking everyone it deems it does not bark to it's orders, so FO and go and read your CNN and other crapy news.

Wonder if these Obsolete American made Tanks are similar to the Obsolute Jet that was taken down by Syria's defence recently. This fight against Syria may witness the rapid decline of the US dollar and economy. Is it possible that Egyptians will be fighting against Syria as it is mow promised Fiat currency military aid from IMF. Soon the American house of Cards will collapse with the US dollar.

I see things differently. Erdogan’s aggressive rhetoric would in fact consolidate the power of President Assad as a War President. This is no longer a civil war or internal matter but a war between two nations. Turkey has declared war on Syria. The Turks have no desire to fight a ground war with Syria. In Lebanon and in Iraq Syria has strong support- this is the reason the imperialists have shifted their base of operation to Turkey to bring terrorists and illegal weapons to Syria. Now eye ball to eye ball in the border means any cross from the Turkey’s side of the border to Syria is a target and the same is true for from the Syrian side to Turkey. This is why the Erdogan is a highly unstable salafist who does not think before making ominous threats against Syria. This move is both for the illegal and terrorist job Turkey is doing for NATO- thus it is ironically “counterproductive ” for Turkey’s role as a terrorists supplier for the imperialists because now the terrorists and the Turkey army are one and the same.

This is not bad news for Syria (unregistered) 27.06.2012 11:34

This is not bad news for Syria because it can watch its border with Turkey 24hrs and that means bad news for Turkey’s practice of sending terrorists and weapons to Syria.
