Turkish PM says Syria’s Assad “will have to go”

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey will continue to support the Syrian people and take care of refugees until the regime is defeated, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on May 6 during a visit to a border camp where thousands of displaced Syrians take shelter.

“Your victory is not far away. Brutality is not eternal. All those pharaohs and dictators in the past paid the price for their brutality and passed away, leaving an indelible black stain,” Erdoğan told refugees in the so-called “container city” near the Öncüpınar border crossing in the southern Anatolian province of Gaziantep.

Erdoğan voiced confidence that al-Assad will go “sooner or later.” “God willing, a new process will sooner or later begin in Syria in which all Syrians will have sovereignty. We will continue to defend the rights of our brothers there and to host those of them who have come here until the will of the people comes to power in Syria,” he said, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
