'Western powers antithetical to peace in Syria'





Published on Aug 11, 2012 by RussiaToday

Hillary Clinton's discussion of a no-fly zone over Syria is a violation of the UN charter of the Geneva Accords, journalist and activist Don DeBar told RT.

The US Secretary of State discussed plans to undermine the Syrian government, during a meeting with Turkey's Foreign Minister on Saturday.

Clinton and her Turkish counterpart, Ahmet Davutoglu, indicated they are exploring a number of measures to aid the Syrian opposition, Reuters reported. Don DeBar spoke to RT about the involvement of western powers in the Syrian conflict.

Always. Everywhere. It's hard to steal resources and manpower if you believe in peace and freedom.
