counterpart Bashar al-Assad's support for a possible Turkish incursion into 
Kurdistan Region to tackle Kurdish guerrillas, a newspaper said on Saturday.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
"President Assad's remarks are dangerous and run contrary to the spirit of Arab 
solidarity," Talabani, himself a Kurd, was quoted as saying in an interview with 
the Saudi daily Asharq Al-Awsat.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
"Usually I would refrain from commenting on Syrian positions in order to 
preserve our historic ties, but this time I am unable to support this dangerous 
crossing of red lines."</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
On Wednesday Assad said he would support a Turkish incursion into northern Iraq 
against Turkish Kurdish rebels, calling such action Ankara's "legitimate right."</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
"How can the president of an Arab state support military intervention against 
the Iraqi republic?" Talabani was quoted as asking. "This is a serious matter 
and damaging to relations between the two countries.</DIV>
