Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad Monday that his days as leader were numbered and he cannot remain in power indefinitely through military force.
“You can remain in power with tanks and cannons only up to a certain point. The day will come when you’ll also leave,” Erdogan told a meeting in Istanbul. “Someone shows up and says ‘I’ll fight and die. Against whom will you fight? Will you fight against your Muslim brothers you rule in your country?” said Erdogan. The prime minister was referring to an interview with Assad published in London’s Sunday Times in which the Syrian leader vowed to fight and die for if faced with foreign intervention. “Why do you open the way for an outside interference?” asked Erdogan. “Why don’t you handle your own problem within yourself, without opening the way for any outside interference?” Erdogan also denounced the use of military force “against those in Syria who demand a decent life”. |
