Syria-Egypt, Politics, 12/29/1998

The Jordanian weekly al-Majd reported that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will visit Damascus within days and inform Syrian President Hafez al-Assad on the results of his talks in Ankara with Turkish President Suleiman Demirel.

The paper added that President Mubarak will highlight agreements concluded concerning the gradual timetable for starting political talks by the beginning of the new year on the level of the foreign ministers of Syria and Turkey on issues of water sharing, and creating a joint military and security mechanism to settle the consequences of the Turkish - Israeli strategic alliance and its threat to Syrian national security.

Al-Majd quoted Egyptian sources as asserting that Presidents Mubarak and al-Assad will make a comprehensive evaluation of Arab - Turkish relations in collaboration with the Arab League in order to deal with all pending issues.

The Egyptian sources added that talks will also deal with developments in the Middle East peace process in light of the current halt on the Palestinian track.
