Syrian military chief says Syria capable of deterring Israel
Wed Oct 22 2003 15:43:50 ET

Syria is capable of creating a power balance that would deter Israel and respond to its ``aggressive adventures,'' the armed forces chief of staff said Wednesday. He also accused the United States of ``unlimited'' support of Israel.

Gen. Hassan Turkmany was speaking at a naval force graduation ceremony. The speech, his third in a week, echoed similar charges made by Syrian officials since Israel attacked what it said was a Palestinian base deep in Syria on Oct. 5.

``Day after day the world is further convinced that Israel doesn't want peace. Syria is capable of creating a balance that would deter Israel and put an end to its aggressive adventures,'' the official Syrian Arab News Agency quoted Turkmany as saying.

``What encouraged Israel to be stubborn and continue its aggressive course is the unlimited financial, military and political support offered by the U.S. President George Bush and his administration's rightist staff,'' Turkmany said.

Turkmany also reiterated his earlier urging for the armed forces to be ready to confront any new attacks by the Jewish state.
