Ypip ,   Canada   (07.23.09)
Assad and Erdogan agree peace must be 'just and comprehensive' Peace revolves around their dry cleaning bill.
2. Talk about what...?? After three attempts to use the Golan
Yoram ,   Kibbutz Dan, Israel   (07.23.09)
as launching pad to wipe Israel off the face of earth, while in so doing breaking both international law and armistice agreements, i.e. 1948, 1967, 1973; after 18 years of daily shootings at Israeli farmers and fishermen of northern Israel, i.e. 1949 to 1967. After having see the Syrians taking an active part in the coalition of Iran-Hizballah-Islamic Jihad-Hamas-Syria whose declared goal is to wipe Israel - a UN member state - off the face of earth, on what is there to talk? Only on Peace for Peace!!!
3. Syria Turkey ask Israel....Not again !
DT ,   TA Israel   (07.23.09)
There is no purpose . Just say "No" and "No" to the US and perhaps we can get on with our own life
4. erodogan turkey
alexi   (07.23.09)
Erdogan is either delusional or lying. Very similar and close to syria, he sits with assad and tells lies. He is biased, relations with israel are near rock bottom and israel does not trust turkey in its current leadership. You can see how olmert was absolutely deluded in selecting turkey to be an impartial mediator. israels know well how to kill was erodgan's sttatement in davos while his forefathers butchered a million armenians. Ask the greeks if they trust the turks??!!
5. SYRIAN DIFFERENCES ARE NOT SETTLEMENTS.
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (07.23.09)
SYRA SHOULD STICK ONLY TO WHAT IT PERCIEVES AS ITS REQUIRED ADJUSTMENTS WITH ISRAEL "SETTLEMENTS "IS NOT THEIR ISSUE! IT IS AN ISRAELI / PALESTINIAN ONE WHICH SHOULD BE DECIDED UPON ONLY BY THE LOCAL PEOPLE TO THE ISSUE.THAT WAY THERE IS MORE LIKELIHOOD FOR TERMS TO BE MET WITHOUT TOO MANY EXTRA FINGERS IN THE PIE!
6. JUST PEACE ??? - !!!.
ORAO STRANKA. ,   TSARIGRAD U SRBIA.   (07.23.09)
The report added that the two leaders agreed that peace "must be just and include all channels." THAT IS NOW IN POWER ON THE ISRAELI SIDE. WHY DO NOT SYRIA HOLD ON TO PEACE THEN ???. ISRAEL STAND IN NO GUILT TO SYRIA. Orao.
7. DOES ISRAEL DESERVES ANY KIND OF FRIENDSHIP ?
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (07.23.09)
No. THAN WHY ISRAEL MEET THE HELPS ? Israel asks and pays for each help. WHAT KIND OF PAY ISRAEL GIVES ? some deep dirty jobs. DOES ISRAEL GOOD ON DEEP DIRTY JOBS ? yes. nothing else israel does better.
8. Is Turkey smoking crack?
Josh the Wise ,   Jerusalem   (07.23.09)
After all the vicious Jew hatred spewing out of Turkey during our past 2 wars they must be smoking crack if they think we would give them any legitmacy or an opportunity to meddle in our affairs. I'd rather Nesrallah serve as an impartial mediator. Screw Istanbul.
9. lies
mohson   (07.23.09)
erdogan is lying. He sits with assad, he's committed to getting back the golan for assad in return for turkey holding syrian territory.Like ahminejad, he has a rabidly proarab wife. Erdogan went to islamic school and he cannot go against it/ Israel should not use turkey as an intermdiary or mediator.
10. Bibi dont act like another olmert especially with Obama
zionist forever   (07.24.09)
The US and Europe had shunned Syria for years and for once nobody was pushing Israel into holding peace talks. Olmert comes along and initiates the talks and agrees to Assads demand to give up the Golan. Turkey was the broker because the US didnt want anything to do with it Bush was even angry with Olmert at one point for giving everythig for nothing. Also Turkey never once showed that it was an honest broker and was basicly there to say you must accept all Assads demands. Now we have Obama if Bibi initiates talks then Obama will jump on the bandwagon and start telling Bibi I want a deal done here you give Assad what he wants or America will punish Israel. Bibi made a promise during his campaign not to give away the Golan. If he has no intention on giving away the Golan why is he even asking Turkey to broker talks? I get the feeling that Bibi is hoping he can do a deal with Obama he gives away the Golan in exchange Obama makes concessions on demands on settlements in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem. Is the Bibi who stood up to the US dissapearing and the old one of the 90s that we couldn't trust is returning?
