Syria rejects first arms pull amid Annan cease fire push
Syria said it will not be first to pull tanks or troops from towns citing the battle to end the state conflict. Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdessi warned that stability efforts begin after life returns to normal, while activists reported ongoing violence and the UN cites over 9,000 deaths since the uprising began. The regime framed the push as a step of good faith, even as it voiced doubts about Annan’s six point plan and recalled a prior failed Arab League mediation.
