Turkey's president: Syria has reached point of no return
None
Turkish President Abdullah Gul accused Syria's government on Wednesday of using oppression and violence against its people, saying the situation there had reached a "point of no return".
"We exerted enormous efforts in public and behind closed doors in order to convince the Syrian leadership to lead the democratic transition," Gul said in a speech hosted by Wilton Park, a British foreign policy thinktank. "Despite all this the Baath regime continues to use oppression and violence on its own people. Violence breeds violence. Now, unfortunately, Syria has come to a point of no return," he said.
