Syrian president to address the nation amid growing crisis
Rate Article:
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is expected to address the nation Monday after some three months of protests against his regime. The state news agency SANA said Assad will address "current circumstances."
Syria's ambassador to Washington said in a newspaper interview his government differentiates between the legitimate demands of protesters and those of armed gangs and conveyed Assad will deal with "all these issues in his speech".
Meanwhile, the Syrian press said the army on Sunday discovered huge amounts of rifles, pistols, hand grenades and bladed weapons, and dismantled explosives and dynamite planted on the roadsides. The Syrian TV said that the "armed gangs" in Jisr al-Shughour area in Idleb governorate used this equipment to boogy-trap roads and bridges where the army was supposed to use in order to enter the city.
It should be noted that Assad's speech comes amid reports the Syrian army is sweeping through the northwestern border region with Turkey and blocking those seeking to flee. Some 10,000 Syrian refugees have already crossed into Turkey.

Who is creating these disturbances there? Who is killing soldiers? Who
is creating chaos over there?
Look at the massacre they are carrying out in Tibby … you call that a
revolution man … you call that an operation for the people?
The only reason they carry out these disturbances is to get a license
to go ahead bomb the government and take over their country. Is this
what we are all going to support now? Is this what we are going to
stand for now? That thousands of people be killed … millions of them be
displaced … just so that a few people can get what they want. C’mon
man!
At least he could have left few survivors to listen his speech.
I do not believe people asked Israel to make peace with this guy.
He even does not peace with his own people. He said he cared for refugees , on the other hand he made more refugees. At least he was embraced to make his people refugees in Israel, and chosen Turkey for that.
