| Syria: Israel not keen on real peace |
| 2008-10-02 |
| Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem has reiterated his previous statements that Israel is in no way interested in attaining real peace. Muallem's remarks came in response to latest comments made by Israeli president Shimon Peres, who called on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to follow in the path of former Egyptian president Anwar Sadat and enter direct negotiations with Israel. He drew the parallel that Peres' comment was like 'putting the cart before the horse', calling it a sign that Tel Aviv was uninterested in attaining real peace, Asharq al-Awasat reported Wednesday. Muallem meanwhile maintained that it would be impossible to control the common border between Syria and Lebanon, saying that such a move would require its demarcation as well as a security agreement between the two countries. |
