DAMASCUS, Syria,— Syria has formed a new
government with many of the top offices filled by
the same men, state television reported Saturday.
President Bashar Assad made the changes by decree,
CNN said. Foreign Minister Walid Moallem, Defense
Minister Dawood Rajiha and Interior Minister
Mohammad Ibrahim al-Shaar remain in those positions.
The new prime minister, Riad Hijab, was formerly
minister of agriculture and agrarian reform.
The Syrian opposition boycotted parliamentary
elections held in May. The government says turnout
was high and the result was an overwhelming show of
support for the Baathist Party.
Violence continued in the country as the shakeup was
announced, CNN said. Opposition groups said at least
six people were killed in shelling by helicopters in
northern Syria.
About 15,000 people have died since large protests
against Assad's regime erupted last year. Iraqi
Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said his country is
concerned about "spillover" across the Syrian
border.
Syria has also acknowledged shooting down a Turkish
military jet Friday,www.ekurd.net
saying it was flying low and was well inside Syrian
airspace and near the coast.
