DAMASCUS, (SANA) – The Turkish political analyst Barakat Tar regretted that the Arab League (AL) which has never made a decision condemning the Zionist occupation of Palestine agreed today to punish a founding member through a set of sanctions, which Turkey based on and exploited to exert more pressures on Syria. In an interview with the Syrian TV on Thursday, Tar said the people of the region should be united in the face of the Israeli-American scheme to occupy Syria, Lebanon and Iran; Israel which still occupies the Arab territories and the U.S. which occupied Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. He added the Turkish people view whatever decisions the Turkish government made as null and void after they exposed its role with the NATO and the "New Middle East" project. In turn, the Lebanese strategic expert and analyst, Amin Hteit, highlighted a sharp difference between Turkey's official stance and that of the Turkish intellectual elites which recognize the reality of the whole situation. He added that the statement due to be published by the recently convened Syrian-Turkish Forum from the headquarters of the Turkish government in condemnation of the Development and Justice government which work against the interest of the Turkish people and Turkey in general will prove the Turkey's efforts to know what really happened and differentiate between reforms and corruption and destruction in favor of the West. For his part, Former Egyptian MP, Jamal Asa'ad, said what is taking place in Syria constitutes a part of the Zionist-American project which aims at fragmenting the region. "From the beginning, the AL made provocative decisions against Syria and Turkey took the lead talking about economic sanctions on Syria," he added. Syria's Ambassador to Lebanon: Sanctions against Syria will yield counter-productive results Syria's Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdel Kareem stressed Syria's keenness on establishing best relations with the Arab countries despite that some Arab leaders and politicians erred in prioritizing their interests and responding to foreign pressures. In a press conference following his meeting with the former Lebanese Premier Omar Karami, the Ambassador stressed that Syria has long experience in dealing with blockade and that the sanctions against it will yield the opposite results. He added that Syria has many ways to overcome the sanctions as the world's greatest powers are Syria's best friends and allies such as China, Russia, Brazil, South Africa and Iran. Abdel Kareem added that Syria is punished because it is the supporter of all liberation movements in Iraq and Lebanon against the Israeli and U.S. ambitions in the region. He expressed confidence in that the public pressure will force the Arab countries to review their policies, adding that Syria will come out stronger from the current situation thanks to the Syrian people's unity. The Ambassador underlined cooperation between the Syrian and Lebanese armies to stop smuggling operations from Lebanon to Syria, calling upon the Lebanese government to have effective role in preventing all forms of smuggling arms and armed men to Syria. Jordanian analyst: Economic sanction against Syria will affect the neighboring countries The economic analyst and member of the Jordanian national initiative in solidarity with Syria George Haddadin said that the economic sanctions against Syria will affect the neighboring countries. He added that these sanctions serve particular ambitions in rebuilding the "new Middle East" in line with the American interests and the Capitalist powers in the world. He added that social classes in Jordan were the first to denounce the AL decisions against Syria as the two people have joint interests and the Jordanian farmers published a statement in rejection of the AL decisions which damage their interests.
