Alexander Vavelov professor at Moscow State University and an expert on the Middle East said in an interview with the channel "Russia Today" The expectations for a double possibility of Western military intervention, because of the recent developments indicate that any director of the Syrian Crisis will not be only through dialogue and peaceful solutions.
The expert said what President Bashar al-Assad, the fact that the Western military intervention in his country's earthquake will cause burning of the entire region, came as a warning to the West because of Syria's geographical location next to Israel.
The expert pointed out that Damascus would not refuse the new Arab initiative because it did not reject the previous initiative, and that the Arab demand the withdrawal of Syrian troops from the streets and return to barracks must be matched by a similar move by the opposition.

CAIRO, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Middle East envoy Wu Sike said here Sunday that the national and people's interests should be put first while the legitimate demands of the Syrian people are respected regarding the solution to the Syrian crisis.
At a press conference after meeting with Egypt's Assistant Foreign Minister for Arab Affairs Mostafa Kamel, Wu said all sides in Syria should participate in its political process.
China sticks to upholding the principles of the United Nations and the stance of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, Wu said, adding that China attaches great importance to the coordination with Egypt, an important regional country.
Prior to his stop in Egypt, Wu visited Syria and Saudi Arabia and exchanged views with officials of the two countries.
Wu held separate meetings Thursday with Syrian Vice President Farouq al-Sharaa and Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem, during which he "deeply exchanged views with them" and "expressed hope that the Syrian government will accelerate the reform process."
Syria needs reforms

The day after dozens were killed, in one of the deadliest single-day tolls since protests erupted in Syria more than seven months ago, the United Nations (UN) and the Arab League issued separate condemnations of the violence on Saturday.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon voiced the international concern over the ongoing crisis, when he said, "The calls of the Syrian people for change must be answered with far-reaching reforms, not repression and violence."
Syria is clearly in a state of internal political crisis. According to the UN, at least 3,000 people have lost their lives in the country since the unrest began in mid-March.
It is no surprise that the NATO powers, inspired by their successful military intervention in Libya, shifted focus on Syria.
However, given the geopolitical sensitivity of Syria as the nerve center of the Middle East and the weak position of the Syrian opposition, the Western powers have so far restricted themselves to sanctions aimed at Syrian President Bashar Assad and the ruling elite and have refrained from any military intervention, such as the NATO action in Libya. Yet, international pressure upon Syria for political reform is increasingly building up.
Echoing the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's statement that Assad has "lost legitimacy", the European Union (EU) widened sanctions against Assad and the Syrian state. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said that fall of the Assad government is "unavoidable", while the British government is urging Assad to step down.
Early last month the EU welcomed the formation of the opposition Syrian National Council, a coalition of seven Syrian opposition factions, as "a positive step forward".
Although Russia and China jointly vetoed a Western-backed draft resolution at the UN Security Council - because the resolution criticizing the Syrian government for allegedly suppressing protests would have opened the door to possible military action - the stance of noninterference in Syria's internal affairs does not come unconditionally.
China called on the Middle East on Thursday to halt all forms of violence in Syria and take all necessary measures to prevent bloodshed. "The people's legitimate demands should be respected as a precondition for pushing the reform process," Wu Sike, China's special envoy to the Middle East, said in a statement in Damascus last week.
In the meantime, the Arab League has proposed an initiative to end the crisis in Syria and embark on dialogue between the Syrian government and the opposition.
Despite his warning to the Western powers that any military intervention in Syria would cause an "earthquake" in the Middle East, Assad should recognize that it is matter of urgency for the Syrian government to reach a political agreement with the opposition on needed reforms.
ＮＡＴＯ シリア軍事介入考えない

シリアで、アサド政権による反政府デモの武力弾圧が続くなか、ＮＡＴＯ＝北大西洋条約機構のラスムセン事務総長は、３１日、「ＮＡＴＯとして軍事介入する考えはない」と述べ、シリアへの軍事介入の可能性を否定しました。
シリアでは、国際社会の非難を無視して、アサド政権側が反政府デモの弾圧を続けており、最近では、軍を離反した兵士を制圧するため、航空機による攻撃も行われています。このため反体制派からは、シリア上空に飛行禁止空域を設定してほしいという声も上がっています。これについて、リビアでの軍事作戦の終結に合わせてリビアの首都トリポリを訪問したＮＡＴＯのラスムセン事務総長は、記者会見で「ＮＡＴＯとして、シリアに軍事介入する考えはまったくない」と述べ、シリアへの軍事介入の可能性を否定しました。一方で、政権側による弾圧については厳しく非難し、アサド政権に対して、国民の要求に応じて民主化を進めるよう求めました。欧米諸国は、イスラエルやイラクと隣り合うシリアについては、政権が崩壊すると地域がより一層不安定化するという懸念から軍事介入に否定的で、今のところ、経済制裁で圧力を強める以外に有効な手段を見いだせていないのが実情です。
