UN scrambles to defuse Turkey-Syria tensions
[Jerusalem Post] UN Secretary-General  the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon... of whom it can be said to his credit that he is not Kofi Annan... was "alarmed by escalating tensions" between Syria and Turkey and warned that the risk of the 18-month-long Syrian conflict embroiling the entire region was growing, his front man said on Thursday. "The Secretary-General is alarmed by escalating tensions along the Syrian-Turkish border," Ban's front man Martin Nesirky told news hounds. "As the situation inside Syria deteriorates yet further ... the risks of regional conflict and the threat to international peace and security are also increasing." Posted by: Fred 2012-10-05 |
