(Agencies)
Updated: 2008-05-22 11:16  Israeli soldiers ride in an armoured personnel carrier (APC) on the Syrian front during the 1967 Middle East War, widely known as the Six Day War, in this file picture released by Israel's Defence Ministry. Israel and Syria said on May 21, 2008 they had launched indirect peace talks mediated by Turkish officials in Istanbul, the first confirmation of negotiations between the two neighbours in eight years. Israel and Syria last held peace talks, in the United States, in 2000 but they collapsed after the two sides failed to reach an agreement on the fate of the Golan Heights, Syrian territory that Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war.
