Hizbullah Condemns Turkish Pilots' Abduction
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah "lamented" on Wednesday the kidnapping of the Turkish pilot and copilot, noting that efforts are exerted to release the abducted Turks and the Lebanese pilgrims.
"Hizbullah condemns the kidnapping of the two Turkish pilots and all abductions of civilians,” the party's MP Mohammed Raad said after meeting with Turkey's ambassador to Lebanon Inan Ozyildiz.
He added: "The party is keen on reaching a good ending that solves the problem of the pilots and of the Lebanese pilgrims and we are working with the state's institutions towards achieving for this purpose.”
Meanwhile, Ozyildiz confirmed that Turkish authorities are also working towards freeing the Lebanese pilgrims.
A Turkish pilot and co-pilot were kidnapped by gunmen in Beirut on Friday.
The relatives of Lebanese pilgrims held in Syria's Aazaz region were quick to deny having any links to the abduction, but one of the relatives, Mohammed Saleh, was arrested on Sunday over links to the incident.
The families of the pilgrims have repeatedly accused Turkey of being responsible for the release of their loved ones, warning that they will target Turkish interests in Lebanon in order to pressure Ankara to resolve the case.
In May 2012, eleven Lebanese pilgrims were kidnapped in Syria's Aleppo region as they were making their way back to Lebanon by land from pilgrimage from Iran.
Two of them have since been released, while the rest remain held in Aazaz.

Very simple indeed ,
You Turks stop serenading the Rebels in the first place .
Stop hosting them in your country .
Stop allowing weapons flowing into Syria as well as outside fighters sponsored by the KSA .
Just the other night it was reported on CNN that the fighters are smuggling in weapons at night and fight during the day then they hop back to turkey for the weekend !
Put that aside in other words you have 100% influence & control on these Cannibals , return our Religious leaders such as our bishops & priests , hand over their kidnappers or the murderer that killed the third priest , bend the arms of the pilgrim 's kidnappers & order them to hand them over to Lebanese Authorities ! All is well and it shall end well with your pilots so stop your stubbornness !

CEDRE
Turkey couldn't control a rag tag so called freedom fighters' who are the Kurds !
At the end the Kurds got their way after 35 years !
How do you expect them to take on HA ?
Anyway no one wants to go & kill anyone , all it is very simple , since the Turks placed themselves with the rebels side & hosting them in their country that was their choice , but there are consequences that eventually unfortunately has had come to this . Just let the Turks use their influence over the Rebels which I'm sure they already enjoy , and release the bishops as well as the Lebanese pilgrims , then I'm sure at the same time that the Turkish pilots shall be released ! The message is simple , stop the Turkish Govt. mucking around pretending that they know nothing !
Otherwise the outcome will be sour for both .

amigo, pkk did not success in anything , they are hiding in Iraqi Kandil mountaines and placing sometimes some IEDs. RTE and his akp are different from the ultra-nationalist kemalist, he sees muslim kurds as brothers and do not want to spill their blood in vain. Turkey is building drones, tanks, missiles, submarines at NATO standard, not iranian dope... They can crush pkk, iran, syria and HA anytime...

...and the four innocent generals killed Rafic Syria, Syria's best Rafic, and so did Imad Marmal, the Qandil brothers, Wiam Wahab, Suleiman Franjieh, Emile Lahoud and of course it goes without saying, Michel Aoun. takbir.

I think everyone should get over the part about Turkey is supporting the rebels and Iran is supporting the regime. Both sides are guilty sending this or that - All same crap. I also think the families should also hold Syria and HA responsible, after all none of those 2 sides did anything to free them. Only promises and BS from both sides. And the way I look at it, if there's proof that you are Mojahed, Gangster, thug, militia or any illegitimate armed person killing innocent people, then rot in hell, end of story. Just release the innocents and civilian from this entire BS that is going on from both sides. Most people just want to live in peace and be able to provide to their families. I know, this is all a dream :)

I never justified kidnappings, bombing or other use of force--unlike you and the rest of the unwashed, I recognize that wrong is wrong.
what's your excuse (aside from a crappy memory)

lol phoenix, you can't be serious here. to release them he would need to actually have kidnapped them in the first place. by saying that you're assuming he has, which is completely unfair in total absence of evidence.
