Syria says it is against any foreign intervention in Libya.
Thursday’s statement by the Syrian Foreign Ministry comes as Western countries debate whether to protect the rebels from Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s air force by putting a no-fly zone over some or all of the country.
The statement said foreign interference "is considered a violation of Libya’s sovereignty, independence and territorial unity."
Syria has close relations with Libya. Damascus has been relatively quiet regarding uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya and has prevented demonstrations near those countries’ embassies in Syria.
