2012-02-09
[Iran Press TV] Anti-Syria states are reportedly planning to hold a meeting in Turkey to discuss ways to topple the government of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

, Press TV reports.

Ankara decided to hold the meeting after Russia and China vetoed a United Nation Security Council resolution against Syria.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly said that his country supports the Syrian opposition and groups fighting against the Assad government and that Turkey will cooperate with countries working against the Syrian government.

Informed sources say Turkey, one of the harshest critics of President Assad's government, plays a key role in a US plot to overthrow the Syrian government.

Turkey is also accused of leading a smear campaign against Syria by trying to portray government troops as being responsible for the violence in the country since last March despite Damascus

political analyst s Stephen Lendman says the US and its allies would continue their plan for a military intervention in Syria even without the UN Security Council approval.

"Washington and key NATO

partners plan intervention with or without Security Council cover," Lendman wrote in his article "Heading for War on Syria" on Global Research.

"Doing so violates fundamental international law that prohibits interfering in other countries' internal affairs, except in self-defense if attacked," he added.

The analyst said Western powers are trying to replicate Libya's model in Syria. Lendman believes the recent military interventions are part of Washington's "New Middle East" project, which aims to control North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia to Russia and China's borders.
