As Turkey and Syria banned each others airplanes from flying
over each other’s airspace, the Ummayad Mosque, a historic landmark in Aleppo,
suffered damage as a result of fighting between government and opposition
forces.
“Turkey and Syria close their airspace and Brahimi
propagates new plan,” reads the headline of Saudi-owned daily A-Sharq Al-Awsat,
reporting that international envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi has proposed
sending a peacekeeping force to Syria in a meeting with opposition members.
Brahimi headed to Iran and will also visit Iraq to discuss possible solutions
to the Syrian crisis.
‘Visitors to Istanbul these days sense that they are
visiting a country in a state of war, or at least on the verge of a war waiting
to erupt. The question is not whether this war will occur, but when, and what
event will ignite it’
