Erdogan Lashes Out at Assad, Says he ‘Lost his Legitimacy’

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Turkish Prime Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a blistering attack on the Syrian regime, saying President Bashar Assad had lost his legitimacy and could lose power over his bloody crackdown on dissent.

Syria's crackdown has infuriated world powers, some of which imposed sanctions on the Damascus regime, with fresh pressure piled on Assad from neighboring Turkey.

"He who bases his power on bloodshed will end up leaving in a trail of blood," the Turkish premier told al-Jazeera television on Thursday.

"Shadows loom over the legitimacy of President Bashar Assad and his regime," Erdogan said.

Turkey has been angered at Syria's indifference to its repeated pleas to end months of bloodshed and has been edging closer to calling on former ally Assad to quit, following appeals by Western powers.

So Bigdig, you'll only oppose Assad's oppression as long Israel is also copping it? Isn't what's happening in Syria a crime that you should condemn regardless of what Israel and Turkey are doing?

Your moral compass is broken.

to sunni and shiite posts,...

go tunnel an underground cave, its in fashion for terrorists like yourselves...

btw,.. none of the lands are "muslim lands". The concept of some lands belonging to some religion is an evil concept and puts you in the same boat as zionists.. And it doesnt matter to Christians because "God's kingdom is not of this earth".

sunni and shiites. Shame on you. You proved your filthy hatred towards christians.that is so sad . Either you are ignorant kids or looneys. You people are the filth of the earth. I am talking about only you two . You are a disgrace to the sunnis and shiites. My wife is muslim and I am a chritian. Our kids are raised on both religions we go to the mosque as well as the church. We believe in one God. Our kids are raised to love and never hate. We are proud to be lebanese. Why don't you just shut up and go suck a lemon. You are not lebanese. You are thugs.
