    EX-MINISTER BLASTS TURKEY'S WAR RHETORIC AGAINST SYRIAN KURDS

    TEHRAN (FNA)- A former Syrian minister lashed out at the Turkish
    government for its rhetoric about a military strike on the Kurdish
    region of Northern Syria, calling it a psychological operation.

    "Turkey's military intervention against Kurds in Northern Syria would
    be tantamount to aggression against the entire Syria because this
    region comprises Arab tribes and followers of different religions,"
    Issa Darvish told FNA in Damascus on Wednesday.

    Darvish noted that Turkey pursues psychological warfare against Syrian
    Kurds in a bid to strengthen the deteriorating morale of the armed
    rebels fighting against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government.

    "Under the present conditions the issue of Turkey's intervention in
    Syria will not be nothing more than a propaganda war to boost the
    armed rebels' morale," he added.

    Last week, a senior Turkish politician lambasted Prime Minister Recep
    Teyyip Erdogan for his interfering policies in Syria, and said such
    an approach will lead to civil war in the Muslim country.

    "Prime Minister Erdogan's policy for changing the Syrian government
    will yield no result but exacerbating the bloody civil war in the
    country," Deputy Head of Turkey's National Movement Octay Uzturk
    told FNA.

    "Turkey alone is never able to infiltrate in Syria or change the
    country's ruling system," he added.

    Turkey is among the countries that support militants inside Syria.

    Ankara provides military training for anti-Damascus militants along
    its borders with Syria.

    In recent months, thousands of the Turkish people took to the streets
    in different cities to protest against their government's interference
    in Syria.

    Demonstrators shouted anti-government slogans and held placards holding
    Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) responsible for
    a possible genocide in Syria.

    The unrest in Syria began in March 2011.

    The Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad says that the chaos is being
    orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a
    very large number of the militants are foreign nationals.

    Militant groups, supported by certain western states and their regional
    allies, such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey have been trying to
    topple the Syrian government for over 2 years.
