    Turkey stops arms shipment to Syria

    ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's foreign minister says the country's authorities have intercepted an arms shipment from Iran to Syria.

    Ahmet Davutoglu confirmed Friday a report saying a truck containing weapons had been intercepted.

    He says an investigation has been launched. He did not elaborate.

    German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung on Thursday cited "western diplomatic sources" as saying that Turkey had stopped a weapons delivery from Iran on its way to Syria which was believed to be destined for Lebanon's Hezbollah militia.

    In March, Turkish authorities seized the cargo of an Iranian plane bound for Syria because the shipment violated U.N. sanctions. Turkish media said the aircraft was carrying light weapons, including automatic rifles, rocket launchers and mortars.

      WW3 is geting ready to blow up. Assad will not step down unless he takes the whole area down with him.

        Assad will bomb Israel in less than 2 months. Obama will turn his back on Israe, since he is a Muzzie.

      The UN will condemn Iran in the strongest possible terms. For the 48th time.

      Good for the Turks. They seem to be trying to avoid what is happening in other countries by setting examples to Muslim countries.

        I think the reason Turkey is doing fine is because they are probably the one country in the middle east with a legitimate democracy (other than Israel). When people feel that their government is legitimate and they have a voice I guess they don't rebel.

      TURKEY, NATO'S SOUTHERN ANCHOR SHOULD BE CONGRATULATED FOR DENYING HAMAS THE WEAPONS THAT ONLY HAD ONE PURPOSE, TO ATTACK THE PROTESTORS IN SYRIA OR ISRAEL..

      I'm already a believer...IRAN IS EVIL. Why can't the world accept this and do away with IRAN as we know it.

        so you want to kill all the babies and women first, or just nuke the entire country?

      Iran is not going to like this one bit.
    • Nigletgook  •  9 mths ago

      nice work Turkey.....
      choose this side of the fence.
    • babalou  •  9 mths ago
      It only takes a second of looking at a map to see the only way Iran can deliver weapons to Syria or Lebanon is thru either Iraq or Turkey. Its good Turkey stopped this shipment, but its a drop in the bucket for Syria. Im thinking this is for PR purposes only. We all would love to see Turkey step up and lead that part of the world out of the dark ages. Besides Indonesia, Turkey is the most modern and sophisticated muslim nation because it is secular. This a perfect time for the much talked about, but rarely seen moderate muslims to step up.

      While Turkey is now, enjoying its western-leaning day in the sun. I hope that it never drops its guard and finds itself in the same islamicphobia sweeping most Europeanian leaning nations.
      The old saying goes: "Never Forget Where You Come From!".

      Iran, arming those that kill women and children.

      Islamic women and children at that.

      Great Job Turkey, now allow Armenians to live in your land without being persecuted against, accept gays to be gay and accept other minorities as well!
      • Greg 9 mths ago
        You seemingly know very little about the tolerance of the Turks! Visit and discover!

        Doubtful, but the dream of every Armenian on th planet
