London, Jan 29, 2010, SPA -- Turkey is ready to try again to broker a peace agreement between Israel and Syria if both countries agree to resume the stalled initiative, dpa quoted Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as saying today. Davutoglu said Israel's 2008 invasion of Gaza scuttled a potential peace deal after Turkey mediated in indirect talks between Israel and Syria. "Is it possible to restart it again? Yes, why not?" Davutoglu said in response to a question about the talks. "If the two countries agree to restart it, we can do it. As Turkey, we are ready," Davutoglu said at the International Institute of Strategic Studies thinktank in London. "The Syrian side already declared they want to continue from where we left (off). The Israeli side, they have different views. Some coalition members are against, some are in favour. We will see," he said. "If we see a strong political will, both in Israel and Syria, we will continue to support (peace efforts). We will support every attempt, step in the direction of peace." --SPA 22:13 LOCAL TIME 19:13 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/742990
