Posted on: Friday, 19 October 2007, 00:00 CDT
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad Thursday defended Turkey's right to use military force against Kurdish separatists.
At a news conference with Turkish President Abdullah Gul, following a meeting between the two leaders in Ankara, Turkey, the two said they had discussed a range of issues of interest to both countries, including the Kurdish Workers Party or PKK, Sana reported.
I don't believe the Turkish government seeks war, Assad said. We condemn any act done by this organization against Turkish civilians and soldiers who defend their borders &133; . Turkey has no ambitions in Iraq, it seeks self-defense and which is a right.
The Turkish parliament has authorized cross-border military action to go after PKK bases in northern Iraq. Kurds also live in Syria and Iran.
