<blockquote>"The oppression of the (Assad) regime will be terrible. But the courage of the people in the street and the overall struggle – despite the difficulties they encounter – along with the very youth of the protesters, will lead the Syrian people to follow them all the way to freedom."

'..Genocidal massacres in Syria, coupled with the breakdown of law and order, would make Turkish intervention almost unavoidable.
