World

 MOSCOW, (ST) – Stressing that Turkey is not under threat, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said that his country rejects NATO intervention in Syria under the pretext of defending Turkey, which adopts a wrong policy that affects the security of the region.

“The war should not be ignited, so the NATO alliance should not be dragged into such a war to defend Turkey which is not really under threat.” Al-Maliki stated..

Al-Maliki, according to SANA correspondent, considered what has been circulated by some media about Syrian aircrafts bombing the Turkish territories an exaggerated allegation and does not deserve to waging a war.

Al-Maliki warned against the risks of NATO intervention in Syria since it might hit  the whole region.

The Iraqi Premier underlined that the Turkish policy towards Syria is  wrong, adding that Turkey is taking risks through its policies, particularly those related to the security in the region, and its rude behavior taking the responsibility of solving the issues in Syria instead of the Syrian people themselves.

“Turkey wants to impose its decision and that is why the international community has to take action to stop Turkey. Ankara is trying to drag NATO to stuck its nose  in Syria’s affairs which is a serious matter as it means a repetition of the Libyan scenario.” Al-Maliki added.

 “The solution to the crisis in Syria should be in a  peaceful way to enable the Syrian people to decide what they want.” Al-Maliki stressed.

On the other hand, Al-Maliki refuted the US allegations that Iran was sending aircrafts loaded with weapons to the Syrian government across the Iraqi territories as baseless, adding that “We will not allow the Iraqi territories to be used for transporting weapons and fighters to neighboring countries. We searched the aircrafts without prior warning and no weapons were found on board.”
