If the coordinates are off, you need to reproject the file, as described in
the link that Halvdan just sent.
For Syria, I'm guessing your shapefiles are in UTM 37N (see
http://www.dmap.co.uk/utmworld.htm)

This corresponds to EPSG:32637 (see
http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/wgs-84-utm-zone-37n/ )

In other words, you should install FWTools, open the FWTools console and
run the following command:

*ogr2ogr -s_srs EPSG:32637 -t_srs EPSG:4326 -f GML filename.gml filename.shp *
