Turkey dreams of new Ottoman empire: Syria president

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has lashed out at Turkey for supporting the insurgents fighting against his government, saying his ambitious neighbor is dreaming of “a new Ottoman empire.”

In a Thursday interview with the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram al-Arabi, whose full text will be published on Friday, Assad said Turkey was unconcerned "about the interests of its people, focusing solely on its ambitions that include 'the new Ottoman empire'."

Syria says Turkey has opened its borders and airports for Syria-bound terrorists, calling it a flagrant violation of the international law, AFP reported.

Assad also said that Qatar is using “the power of money and revolves in the orbit of the West by providing weapons and money to terrorists to repeat the scenario of Libya.”
He noted that Qatar has been “the quickest to fuel the violence.”

Assad said Turkey, Qatar along with Saudi Arabia - which have thrown their support behind the insurgents in his country - would not win the battle.

"They suddenly saw money in their hands after a long period of poverty and think they can buy history and play a regional role.”

He said the Syrian government will finally defeat the insurgents "using terrorism against the Syrian state", noting that they "have no support among the people. Ultimately they will not emerge victorious."

NOTE : I DONT SUPPORT ASSAD NOR THE FSA

  • Turkey is far too smart to be thinking about expanding their borders. They are economically growing like crazy and you think they want to put that at risk for what? some extra desert land?

    Btw Turkey is fighting to secure the east of Turkey from the kurds, it won't be long. Turkey took too many nations under the ottoman empire and did not 'give them back'. They will learn the hard way.

  • Turks are anti Christian but they want the West to kiss their hairy ass. Turkey will pay for playing with fire.
