Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem has dismissed the possibility of a military intervention led by Turkey while also promising that the Arab republic would “resist” any invasion, Hurriyet Daily News reports.
In an interview yesterday with a group of reporters in Damascus, al-Muallem said Turkey was “suspicious” toward the Syrian government and that he blamed Ankara for being “a part of the plan” against Damascus.
The Syrian government will “resist a military intervention,” al-Muallem said following Feb. 26’s constitutional referendum, adding that he did not believe such military action would come from Turkey. “Frankly speaking, I do not see this happening. I believe there is some wisdom left in Turkey,” he said, while also noting Turkey’s stance.
