Algeria rejects military intervention against Syria, calls for restoring political negotiations

Algeria rejected on Sunday any military intervention against Syria and called for resorting political negotiations, Algerian foreign minister said here.

"The military intervention's expenses and implications over the whole region will be severe," Murad Madlisi told an Arab League meeting in Cairo.

Based on the complicated situations in Syria, the Arab ministers should be keener than ever before to take all necessary procedures to avoid slipping into tragedy, not only in Syria but in the whole region, Xinhua reports.

His country repeated calls for the international community to encourage the Syrian side to respond to the international efforts for holding Geneva II conference and find a political solution to preserve the safety of Syria and the unity of its people.
