| Yacht07 (OP) User ID: 18416358 United Arab Emirates06/29/2012 01:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Turkey to pick new missile defence system soon Turkey is to pick a new long-range air defence missile system soon, as tension builds with neighbouring Syria, media and foreign diplomats said today. Companies vying for the four billion dollar (3.2 billion euro) contract include Raytheon and Lockheed Martin of the United States, Rosoboronexport of Russia, CPMIEC of China and the French-Italian consortium, Eurosam, they said. A Western diplomatic source said a shortlist would be announced on July 11 or 12. The news comes a week after Syria shot down a Turkish warplane, prompting Turkey to start beefing up its forces along their lengthy border with anti-aircraft guns, missile batteries and tanks. Turkey also hosts a NATO early warning radar as part of a new defence system aimed at protecting Europe from missiles coming from the Middle East, notably Iran.

| Yacht07 (OP) User ID: 18416358 United Arab Emirates06/29/2012 01:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Syrian President Bashar al Assad accused Syria's foes of trying to interfere in his country's internal affairs with U.N. resolutions and by bringing about the failure of Kofi Annan's peace plan, in a rare interview broadcast yesterday. But he said he did not believe the crisis would result in military action in Syria. What happened in Libya was "not a solution to be copied because it took Libya from one situation into a much worse one. We all now see how the Libyan people are paying the price," he said. He had harsh words for Syria's neighbour Turkey, relations with which have worsened following the shooting down of one of its military planes by Syrian forces last Friday. "The policies of the Turkish officials lead to the killing and bloodshed of the Syrian people," said Assad.

| Yacht07 (OP) User ID: 18416358 United Arab Emirates06/29/2012 01:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Explorer boat ready to find missing pilots The United States’ Nautilus explorer has been officially assigned to help locate the missing pilots and the wreckage of a Turkish aircraft which was shot down by Syria last week, daily Milliyet reported today. The underwater vehicle, which has undergone four days of preparation in Istanbul's Haydarpaşa harbor, is expected to arrive at the scene in two and half days after departing today. Turkey had been in contact with countries and international companies that can search below a depth of 1,000 meters, which is greater than the capability of the Navy’s present Çeşme boat, the official told the Hürriyet Daily News yesterday. The Nautilus became famous after locating the wreckage of the Titanic in 1985. [link to www.hurriyetdailynews.com] I am not Arab. ------------------------------------- The day went badly for us.
