Turkish General Arrested in Aleppo, Syria; Turkey Denies, Iran Calls for Consequences
by Christof Lehmann

August 6, 2012
Yesterday the Iranian News Agency FARS reported that the Syrian Military had arrested a Turkish General in Aleppo, Syria. (1) Not Surprisingly the Turkish government vehemently denies that Syria should have arrested the General. It also denied that the Phantom F4 fighter jet that was downed by the Syrian military over a months ago had illegally entered Syrian air-space while Turkey admittedly is waging an illegal war on Syria.
The report has, in spite of Turkish attempts to rebut it, gained in credibility when the Iranian Member of Parliament, Mansour Haghighat-Pour demanded that Ankara should answer for the activities of the Turkish general who had been arrested in Aleppo.
Mansour Haghighat-Pour is the Vice Chairman of the Iranian Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, a position that provides privileged access to information from a usually very well informed Iranian Intelligence Community.
Mansour Haghighat-Pour added, that ” the population of Turkey must not stay indifferent to the ant-Islamic policy of that country. It is hardly probably that Turkey´s population will be silent if it turns out that the Turkish government supplies weapons to terrorists”.
The statement of the Iranian Member of Parliament is sensitive to the fact that the Turkish opposition to the Erdogan led government is increasingly voicing concerns about Turkey´s aggression against Syria. Only recently the Vice Chairman of Turkey´s Labor Party, Hasan Basri Ozbey , stated that the Party has clear evidence for the fact that Turkey´s President Gul incited terrorism in Syria. (2)
A senior Whitehall official stated in June, that the the United Kingdom and other countries, including Turkey, France, and possibly the USA, had deployed Special Forces to Syria. (3)
Taking into account that a successful major military operation inside Syria is bound to fail unless the foreign backed mercenary and terrorist forces and their Special Forces Liaisons succeed in establishing a stronghold in at least one major city before the onset of fall and winter, and that a massive military campaign is being waged to secure the city of Aleppo, is also increasing the likelihood that Turkey would have deployed a high ranking military officer to co-ordinate the military campaign in Aleppo.
After the NATO/GCC/Israeli Alliance has failed to topple the Syrian government and to cast the country into chaos and civil war because China and Russia have drawn a clear line against a repetition of the Libyan scenario, it seems that the “Opposition” is now making a push for the conquering of Aleppo as a basis for the establishment of a proxy government in Aleppo that could officially invite other nations military forces. The model has been used in Libya in 2011, when a transitional government was established in Benghazi.
Today Danish and other European Media proclaim that the Syrian Military uses it´s Air Force in Aleppo. A claim that so far has not been independently verified for nsnbc. It is however, symptomatic for the fact that a strong military push towards the establishment of a proxy government in Aleppo is being conducted to provide a political pretext for a push towards the establishment of a so called No-Fly-Zone.
Unless a statement from the government of Syria declares otherwise, it most likely that the Syrian military has captured a Turkish general or high ranking military officer in Aleppo, who was co-ordinating and supporting the establishment of a stronghold in the city.
The implications of the capture of a high-ranking Turkish-NATO military officer inside Syria are staggering and could warrant Syrian calls for a joint Syrian Iranian response based on the two nations defense contracts.

Syria Arrests Turkish Army General in Aleppo
Orwellian ramifications unfold in Syria
PressTV
August 8, 2012
Apart from the catastrophically unthinkable havoc the rebels can wreak in Syria and in the region with the WMDs, the rhetorical question which remains is how these weapons of mass destruction have fallen into the hands of the insurgents who are chiefly composed of Wahhabi al-Qaeda mercenaries of different nationalities including Afghans, Iraqis, Turkish, Yemenis, Jordanians, Pakistanis, and Saudis.
The situation in Syria is assuming Orwellian ramifications and the possibility to clearly understand or dissect the situation in the country is not an easy task.
In addition to the active role the Saudi-backed Wahhabis, CIA and other western intelligence organizations are playing in Syria, there is one entity, namely Israel which is stealthily espying every single development in Syria.
For the first time, an Israeli spy official clearly stated that Israel supports regime change in Syria and that it really demands an end to the government of Bashar Assad.
“I hope it will happen, even though I don’t know when or how,” Intelligence Agencies Minister Dan Meridor said on Tuesday.
The top spy chief implicated why Assad should go and how it would damage the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“I am not going to try to calculate when Assad’s end will come, but when it happens, Iran’s biggest ally will be gone.”
Taking it for granted that Assad is doomed to go, he said, “I hope the new Syria will understand that joining Iran is a mistake that brings isolation from the Western world.”
Such a feeble perception of the Syrian situation is indicative of one who is either too optimistic or one who is well aware of what is going on behind the scene and that which is not visible to the ordinary people with no intelligence savvy.
On August 5, John McCain and Lindsey O. Graham, both Republicans, who represent Arizona and South Carolina in the Senate, respectively and Joseph I. Lieberman, an independent, who represents Connecticut in the Senate advised the US government to directly and openly provide assistance, including weapons, intelligence and training, to the insurgents in Syria as they claim President’s Assad’s ‘brutality’ is no longer to be tolerated.
“It is not too late for the United States to shift course. First, we can and should directly and openly provide robust assistance to the armed opposition, including weapons, intelligence and training. Whatever the risks of our doing so, they are far outweighed by the risks of continuing to sit on our hands, hoping for the best.”
Another part of this sabotage axis against Syria is Turkey which plays a very treacherous role in snowballing the Syrian crisis. Turkey has supplied the rebels with dozens of man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS), NBC News has reported.
According to NBC, the missile supplies might have been provided by Turkey, Saudi Kingdom and Qatar monarchy, the three countries which have made strenuous and costly efforts to overthrow the government of Bashar Assad.
In a press conference at the United Nations in New York City, a Syrian UN representative confirmed that Turkey shipped US-made Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to rebels via Turkey, saying that Turkey was pleased with Kofi Annan’s resignation because Ankara and Washington were initially opposed to his six point peace plan.
In fact, Turkey should be grateful to Syria what it has done for it in the past. It is acknowledged by many pundits that it was Bashar’s father, Hafiz Assad, who made peace between Turkey and the Kurds living in both sides of the country, thereby vaccinating Turkey for years against any attacks on the part of the Kurds.
The antagonistic policies of Turkey have left President Bashar Assad with no choice but to grant autonomy to the Kurds in Syria who can foment dilemma for the Ankara government and get Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan into hot water.
The ongoing Kurdish insurgency has reportedly claimed the lives of at least 48000 over the past two decades.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is sharply aware of what a deep impact this decision can exercise on the security of Turkey.
He said the two groups had built a “structure in northern Syria” that for Turkey means “a structure of terror.”
Turkey is making a tactical mistake by supporting terrorism in Syria and supplying them with weapons, military training and human resources. Turkey will certainly fall into the pitfall it has dug for Syria and the insecurity it envisages for Syria will ultimately recoil against the government itself.
As for Washington and NATO, they are making a selfsame mistake.
The two are fondling terrorism and extremism by throwing support behind the insurgents in Syria. They know that a popular uprising in the true sense of the word is not clearly discernible in Syria and that what has been taking place in Syria is a string of militancy and terrorist operations funded by the Saudis and the Qataris and some western countries who are waiting to reap the benefits of their atrocities in case Bashar Assad’s government collapses. Such a day, if it comes, will open a new chapter of horror in the Middle East with no end in sight.
The unfurling reality is that the hostile states and powers antagonizing Bashar Assad are gradually getting caught up in the labyrinthine Orwellian pitfall of their own folly and that they are consciously or unconsciously working in the best interests of the Zionist regime.

The Transpiring Truth About the Battle in Aleppo and NATO´s War on Syria
NATO´s Economical, Military and Moral Bankruptcy.
by Christof Lehmann
nsnbc
August 1, 2012
The so-called “Battle for Aleppo” is letting the truth about NATO´s war on Syria transpire with all possible clarity. Russian Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov used the irony of understatement when he pointed out that “some media outlets are providing advance coverage of the events”. On his web-site, Gatilov stated that “tendentious media outlets are trying by all means to make up for what the opposition has failed to achieve”.
The so-called “Battle for Aleppo” is showing with all possible clarity that the NATO/GCC/Israeli Discount Army of Low Lives, Al Qaeda, Muslim Brothers, and hands for hire is no match for the Syrian Military and for the people of Syria. They can create terror, and they do. They can spread murder and may-ham, and they do. They can rob, plunder, rape and pillage, and they do. They can be supported by NATO/GCC Special Forces, and they are. Their unadulterated barbarism can create the most appalling outrages and the greatest grief and suffering and human tragedy, and it does. They can cause this suffering in the name of human rights, and they do so with the help of complicit media.
What they can not, is to defeat the Syrian Military and the people of Syria with a Financially and Morally Bankrupt Modo-Colonial Powers Discount Army of Robbers and Rapists. What they can not, is to destroy national unity along the lines of ethnicity and religion – but they try.
The Turkish opposition to the Erdogan Regime is becoming increasingly confident. Ever more evidence for Turkey´s massive and criminal involvement in the manufacturing of the war on Syria transpires.
Recently, the Deputy Chairman of Turkeys Labor Party, Hasan Basri Ozbey, declared that the Party has clear evidence that Turkish President Gul and Erdogan were involved in manufacturing the war on Syria.(1) Yesterday the Turkish newspaper Yurt wrote that it is in possession of documented proof, that Turkish Intelligence is involved in carrying out terrorist attacks inside Syria. (2)
Having witnesses inside Syria who can confirm Syrian media reports from Aleppo, the reality of the so-called “Battle for Aleppo” transpires and underpins that NATO´s Discount Swarm of Disposable Assets is no match for the Syrian Military or the people.
By yesterday the majority of the mercenaries that had swarmed to Aleppo had been uprooted and were being pursued by military forces. In Handarat, a northern district of Aleppo, the military confronted a group of 400 – 500 insurgents with approximately 30 pick-up trucks, destroying all vehicles and inflicting heavy losses among the insurgents. After receiving information from residents and verifying it, the military confronted armed insurgents in the al-Nairab neighborhood in Aleppo.
A clear signal for that the insurgency is not faring too well is that it had to register significant losses among it´s officers. According to the Syrian Arab News Agency, SANA, Ahmad Haj Qasem bin Abdul-Rahman, who was one of the armed groups leaders in the northern regions of Syria has been killed. Other high-ranking insurgents who reportedly have been killed include Yaser Mehi Eddin Abbas and Rajab Mohammad Hamimi.
In the Aleppo countryside districts of Daret Azzeh and Qibtan al-Jabal a group of armed insurgents traveling in 9 cars were confronted by the military and killed, after residents reported that they were committing acts of murder and sabotage.
In the Salah Eddin neighborhood in Aleppo the military confronted armed insurgents, inflicted heavy losses on them and seized their weapons.
According to one source in Aleppo, the military pursued an armed group which intimidated civilians in the al-Jameeliya area, killing 11 of the insurgents, and six others in Saadallah al-Jaberi Square. The source added that Syrian authorities also had pursued an armed terrorist group which horrified the citizens by shooting randomly around in the Mohafazaa area.
An official source of the Syrian government informed SANA that an armed terrorist group had managed to take control of a warehouse in Aleppo where military uniforms and food supplies are stored. The terrorists then proceeded by placing explosives in the warehouse. One of the explosive charges reportedly exploded prematurely, causing the others to explode, killing and injuring scores of the terrorists.
In the area of Ourum al-Kubra, a rural district outside Aleppo, the military reportedly captured a truck that was loaded with large amounts of explosive devices. The truck was reportedly bound for Aleppo. Three men were arrested.
A group of insurgents that attempted to cross the border from Lebanon into Syria at Halat, outside of the city of Talkalakh was repelled by the Syrian military. A SANA reported quoted a source, saying that the insurgents fired machine-guns and missiles from inside Lebanese territory at the al-Dabousiyeh border crossing in an attempt to infiltrate into the Halat side of the border. The insurgents reportedly suffered heavy casualties.
In the Daraa region, Syrian authorities tracked an armed terrorist group in the towns of jeb al-Safa and Qara. The terrorists hideout was stormed and the terrorists were arrested.
A Syrian military unit confronted an armed group of insurgents near Hamaa, which had opened fire on law-enforcement officers at the al-Sqelbiya roundabout which leads to the al-Madik citadel. The clash led to the destruction of the car and the arrest of the insurgents.
This is, in brief, what Western main Stream Media, the US-State Department, and the political leadership throughout NATO and GCC member states as well as Israel describe as “The Battle for Aleppo”. The mere fact that this chaotic acts of terrorism, murder and may-ham are at all described as “a battle” makes it evident that NATO and the NATO led alliance is morally as well as militarily bankrupt.
The question is, whether NATO´s political and military leadership will realize their bankruptcy and begin taking part in a process of actual conflict resolution, or if they will choose to continue the escalation. In the latter case it might be that it becomes necessary for China, Russia and members of the Shanghai Cooperation Council to remind the want to be modo-colonialist masters about their actual standing.
Time for a reality check ? The economic crisis in Europe and the USA is bad enough as it is. China and Japan have begun accepting each others currency and others are following suit. The true “International Community” is tired of accepting an absolutely worthless US-Dollar and Euro at face value to finance NATO military adventures which are ultimately directed against themselves.
What did the EU delegation to China learn when it came begging to China for bailout money in late 2011 ? ” We don´t lend out stupid money”! How much more clearly and politely do you expect a Chinese diplomat to be when he is trying to find a nice way of saying that China has had it with you ? A little bit cultural sensitivity rather than a want to be colonial master-race arrogance and ethnocentrism helps understand the true bearing of that message.
For those who have problems getting off of their high horse, here is a translation:
“No, Mr. and Ms. NATO ! Even if you are waging Discount wars with hordes of terrorists to compensate for your economical bankruptcy – you are still morally bankrupt! Unless you cease your degeneration into barbarism you will have to learn the hard way how it is when your worthless funny money just does not buy the gas needed to fuel your terrorists pick up trucks. Go begging somewhere else to finance your disgrace!”

Russian General Denies Being Killed in Syria
Voltaire Network
August 8, 2012
Photo: Major-General Vladimir Kuzheyev, who Syrian rebels said they killed outside Damascus, speaking to reporters Wednesday.
A military general called a news conference at the Defense Ministry on Wednesday to deny a claim by a Syrian rebel group that he had been killed in clashes outside Damascus.
Major-General Vladimir Kuzheyev worked for some time as an adviser to Syria’s Defense Ministry on military schools, but he moved to Moscow after being transferred to the military reserves, Interfax reported.
“I am grateful to the media for their great interest in poor little me. As a human being, it was very unpleasant for me to hear about my supposed death in Syria,” Kuzheyev told reporters, adding that his phone has been ringing nonstop with calls from worried family and friends.
“I want to confirm that I am alive and well, I am in good health and live in Moscow,” he said.
He said the claim of his death was a provocation against Russia and him personally.
Chossudovsky: West Attempts to Destabilize Syrian Government [video]

Syrian security forces have clashed with foreign-sponsored insurgents in several areas of the northwestern city of Aleppo.
Meanwhile, the Syrian state TV said the army has arrested a group of Turkish and Saudi officers in Aleppo.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told the Turkish Cumhuriyet daily in an interview in early July that Turkey “has supplied all logistic support to the terrorists who have killed our people.”
Many people, including large numbers of security forces, have been killed in the turmoil in Syria that began in March 2011.
On August 5, US senators John McCain, Joseph Lieberman and Lindsey Graham said Washington should “directly and openly” provide assistance, including weapons, intelligence and training, to the insurgents in Syria.
On June 21, the New York Times reported that a group of CIA officers are operating secretly in southern Turkey and that the agents are helping the anti-Syria governments decide which gangs inside the Arab country will receive arms to fight the Syrian government.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Professor Michel Chossudovsky, Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization, to further discuss the issue.
