Syria shells towns despite ceasefire deadline Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency quoted Erdogan as saying Turkey would assess the situation and take steps accordingly. Turkish authorities said on Monday that Syrian forces fired across the border into a refugee camp in Turkey, wounding at least six people. But four witnesses in the camp told The Associated Press that two people in the camp also had been shot and killed. Syria's foreign minister Walid Muallem was in Moscow on Tuesday for talks to persuade Russia to maintain support for the Damascus regime. Russia has been one of the very few world powers to offer some support to Assad in his bloody standoff with protesters but has also backed the plan of UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan to end the violence. There is the Annan plan. It contains concrete points and we fully support this plan," the Interfax news agency quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov as saying ahead of the talks on Monday. Muallem, who arrived in Moscow late on Monday, was due to hold talks with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov followed by a news conference later on Tuesday. Russia has repeatedly condemned the West for taking what it says is a one-sided approach in the conflict but has in recent weeks shown signs of growing exasperation with the intransigence of the Assad regime. Moscow says its position is objective and gives it unmatched influence over Damascus, although rights activists have accused Russia of giving a green light to violence that has left more than 9,000 dead according to the UN.
