'Turkey in no-win scenario over Syria' [Webster Griffin Tarpley © PressTV]

A political analyst says Turkey has embarked on a no-win project to destabilize Syria.

Insurgents in Syria have damaged a world heritage site in the city of Aleppo amid ongoing clashes with the Syrian army.

Reports say a massive fire has destroyed hundreds of shops in a medieval market place, which has been declared a world heritage site by UNESCO.

Some of the country's most significant sites, including centuries-old fortresses, have fallen victim to the months-long unrest in Syria.

Press TV has conducted an interview with Dr. Webster Griffin Tarpley, author and historian from Washington, to further discuss the issue.
